Ecclesiastes 1:2, 12-14, 2:18-23; Luke 12:13-21
It Depends What You Mean By Vanity

The book of Ecclesiastes doesn't get much air time; too bad because it speaks to many of the conundrums of our consumerist society.  In this sermon Fr. Allen brings one of the only lections featuring this book into conversation with one of Jesus' parables.  Approaching the message of Ecclesiastes through the word "vanity" proves a fruitful approach unlocking at least part of why it is still relevant today.
