The Rev. Michael Livingston is a Presbyterian minister and international church leader who most recently served as the Interim Senior Minister for The Riverside Church in the City of New York. His sermon is called “In Praise of Mark’s Easter Story,” from Mark 16:1-8. Rev. Livingston is a great fan of Mark’s Gospel, and thinks of it not as a poorer telling of the Jesus story, but as a wonderful “primer” for ministry.
