My Preaching

Welcome!

I am Fr. Scott Steinkerchner, OP, a traveling preacher, theologian, and web-developer. Here you will find the bulk of my internet postings, stretching back to 1999. The Blog postings are housed here, the Videos are mostly from the website of the Dominican Province of St. Albert the Great USA (my province), and the Podcasts are mostly my contributions to theWord, a daily podcast from Dominicans around the world.

You will also find on this site a list of Questions & Answers about Liturgy in the Roman Catholic tradition, created by a great liturgist and friend, Fr. John Thomas Lane,SSS.

Receiving Gifts

I have been given many gifts in my life. Gift-giving is an impulse we all share, wanting those whom we love to receive the blessings we are able to give.

Healing Love

Sor Lucia Roge Nutritional Center. Not a very exciting name? "nutritional center"? , but an incredible place.

On Being Blessed

I'm on tour in Guatemala with Food For the Poor, seeing our work.

Rich or Barren?

The last day of my retreat, and the desert is in bloom.

Not So Intrepid Explorers

Mike and I planned to camp in the desert next to Lake Powell. We bought an inflatable canoe so that we could go out on the lake. But like the "best laid plans of mice and men," things went astray.

Rain in the Desert

Tea in the rain.

Maasailand

Africa begins to work her spell on me. The people, the land, the sun, the LIFE. Above is a view of Maasailand from just the other side of the hills here in Karen. I have been told that Nairobi is not really Africa, but that Africa begins where it leaves off. These photos are Africa.

Martin de Porres Vocational Training Center, Kiserian, Kenya

One of the biggest tragedies here in Nairobi is the huge number of children living on the streets, with no homes, families, food or schools.

Working to get by: Scenes from the streets of Nairobi

Typical of the economy and situation here, this woman sits all day every day on this same corner, roasting corn on a little charcoal grill to sell for a few shill

The Indian Market

As good as any farmers' market I have seen, anywhere in the world is the Indian Market in Nairobi.

Layers

Our fish pond, reflective of society here in Kenya. So many layers. When I saw it I could not help thinking of M.C. Escher's Three Worlds.
