Canopied by Compassion
This week’s featured book: Conflict and Communion by Thomas Porter Today’s Reflection WE OFTEN TREAT Holy Communion as if it were an other-worldly moment disconnected from the rest of life. The scriptures and the ritual for Holy Communion make it clear that those who eat and drink with Jesus are witnesses in all of life—even […]
Peacebuilders
This week’s featured book: Conflict and Communion by Thomas Porter Today’s Reflection WE SEE THAT the liturgy of Holy Communion opens us up to the one who reconciles and heals. It forms us as peacebuilders, ministers of reconciliation. To this table God invites all who “seek to live in peace with one another.” The message […]
Celebrating Differences
This week’s featured book: Forgiveness, the Passionate Journey by Flora Slosson Wuellner Today’s Reflection WHEN WE ARE in deep and growing union with God we begin to exult in the differences of others, just as God exults in the uniqueness of each of us. When we are in intimate relationship with God, we long passionately […]
Center Around Christ
This week’s featured book: Forgiveness, the Passionate Journey by Flora Slosson Wuellner Today’s Reflection WHEN FELLOW CHRISTIANS are deeply divided on issues, if they center around the risen Christ with prayer, both verbal and silent, and celebrate the Eucharist together, the living presence of the Christ brings healing answers far deeper than we had dreamed. […]
Blessed Are the Meek
This week’s featured book: Forgiveness, the Passionate Journey by Flora Slosson Wuellner Today’s Reflection AS WE LEARN to be empowered in our gentleness, open to God, one another, ourselves, by our very existence we expand the realm of the meek, who have been promised the whole earth. And even now, even before the realm of […]

An Old Clay Pot
I’ve acquired a number of old clay pots over the years. My favorite was excavated from a site dated during Abraham’s time (circa fifteenth century BC). It’s at least one item in our home that is older than I! It’s not much to look at: stained, cracked, chipped, and in need of a good scrubbing. […]
Friendship Bench
In the south central African country of Zimbabwe, war trauma and high unemployment can leave people in despair—until they find hope on a bench. A friendship bench. Hopeless people can go there to talk with trained “grandmothers”—elderly women taught to listen to people struggling with depression, known in that nation’s Shona language as kufungisisa, or […]
Guiding Children to God
An outspoken atheist believes it’s immoral for parents to teach their children religion as though it were actually true. He even claims that parents who pass along their faith to their children are committing child abuse. Though these views are extreme, I do hear from parents who are hesitant to boldly encourage their children toward […]
The Greatest Mystery
Before I came to faith in Christ, I had heard the gospel preached but wrestled with Jesus’s identity. How could He offer forgiveness for my sins when the Bible says only God can forgive sins? I discovered I wasn’t alone in my struggles after reading J.I. Packer’s Knowing God. Packer suggests that for many unbelievers […]
No Line to Love
Sometimes when my Labrador retriever wants attention, he’ll take something of mine and parade it in front of me. One morning as I was writing at the desk with my back turned, Max snatched my wallet and ran off. But realizing I hadn’t seen him do it, he returned and nudged me with his nose—wallet […]
