In this sermon for the Feast of the Transfiguration, Archbishop Scott McLaughlin discusses the symbolism lying behind the biblical event, and shows that the transfiguration of Jesus also is a promise for the future, when we will all reflect God's glory. Finally, the sermon urges Christians to treat seriously the means by which God has always spoken to His people: through dreams and visions. Archbishop McLaughlin suggests that Christians reject the modern, western notions of materialism and embrace a biblical worldview, where inner and outer states of consciousness are united, and His people receive guidance and comfort in direct communication with the Divine.
