Hope Floats?

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

God mourns when we choose war.

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

So, tell me, who is it that you have not chosen as special? Who does not have a place in your choir? Whom do you exclude from the possibility of bringing light and blessing to all peoples? Who does not receive your invitation to be what you call them to be? Who lives outside the realm of your love and forgiveness? Who does not belong to your family? Who was not made in your image?

I can’t think of anyone.

Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“So the Samaritan says, ‘Let’s form an interfaith committee to see what can be done for this man lying on the side of the road.’”

[What a concept! He never said it.]
