Dr. Lauren Winner, award-winning author, Episcopal priest, and Associate Professor of Christian Spirituality at Duke Divinity School, preaches a sermon from John 15:9-17 called, “A Little Trite, Don’t You Think?” She begins, “When I opened the lectionary last week and saw that this was the Gospel passage, I groaned. These words are hard for me to hear. I mean, honestly…’Love one another’? Isn’t that a little trite?”
