‘Feed My Lambs’ Who, Me? | Rev. David Pileggi

1 May 2022 - On this 3rd Sunday of the Easter season, we consider the story of Jesus’ post-resurrection encounter with Peter on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Peter had “quit” and had gone back to his old way of life. Like him, we may also find ourselves tired, disappointed and discouraged, and we need to re-encounter the risen Jesus to be refreshed and taught once again what lies at the heart of love and discipleship. It is in self-giving that we find fulfillment, joy and intimacy with God.

The Rev. David Pileggi is the rector of Christ Church in the Old City of Jerusalem. He and his wife Carol have lived (and raised their three adult children) in Israel for 40 years where David has worked as a journalist/researcher and for 19 years was director of a study program dedicated to teaching Christians about the Jewish context of their faith. He has an M.A. from the Hebrew University in Jewish Studies and is a licensed tour guide. Fascinated by Eastern European Jewish life that existed before the Second World War, he has led countless trips to Poland, Austria, and the Czech Republic, designed to teach Christians about the Holocaust and Jewish life in the modern era. Ordained by Archbishop Henry Orombi of Uganda, he has been the rector of Christ Church Jerusalem since 2008. He also takes a keen interest in the Isaiah 19 Movement and the rights of the Christian minority in Israel.
