The Anger of Compassion
Who were the Lepers in Biblical times?
Who is the Leper in the story described in Mark’s Gospel?
Or, more to the point, what is the disease described as Leprosy in Mark’s Gospel heard moment ago?
The kind of leprosy we know today came to the West after biblical times.

Healing in “The When”
“Be Silent!”
Once two persons recited the 23rd Psalm beginning with the lovely verse, The Lord is My Shepherd.
One was a well-known actor; the other was a rather unsophisticated and senior steel worker. The actor’s rendering of the psalm was beautiful and commanding. Everyone enjoyed the rich words of the beloved psalm spoken in his clear baritone. All the inflections and pauses were...

Becoming an Eli Community
“Then Eli perceived the Lord was calling the boy” (First Samuel, Chapter 3)
“Can anything good come out of Nazareth?”(Gospel of John, Chapter 1)
I had a friend, a respected lay leader in the congregation, tell me: “When you can’t find God, perhaps you are not looking hard enough.”
Both the Old and New Testament passages speak to God’s call.
The word, “Call” in biblical perspective is rich in...

But, at dusk, its future path is outlined by a necklace of lights. Following routes travelled by Israelis, the lights turn eastward, to trace the contours of barren hills...
