  <title>Easter and What Heaven Really Is</title>
  <description>What do we mean when we say “heaven”? &amp;amp;nbsp; In this Easter Sunday sermon from Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, Malcolm Clemens Young explores a deeper, richer vision of heaven—not as a distant place we go someday, but as God’s dimension breaking into our world here and now. &amp;amp;nbsp; Drawing on scripture, theology, and memory—from childhood Easters to Mary Magdalene’s encounter with the risen Christ—this sermon invites us to see Easter as the moment when heaven and earth meet.  Featuring reflections inspired by N.T. Wright, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and the poetry of Anne Porter, this message challenges modern assumptions and opens a vision of grace that is already present among us. Heaven is not far away.It is closer than we think.It is where God calls your name. “Alleluia. Christ is risen!”  The Very Rev. Dr. Malcolm Clemens Young, Dean Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, CA 2G10 Easter Sunday (Year A) 8:30 a.m. Eucharist Sunday 5 April 2026&amp;amp;nbsp; Acts 10:34-43 Ps. 118:1-2, 14-24 Colossians 3:1-4 John 20:1-18 </description>
