Worldwide Recap

It was a treat to have HyeRan and David with us on Sunday. The kids' story of SooMee and the fighter planes reminded us of the value of peace in our living, without an active military presence in our background.

HyeRan's sermon about congregations being a "gathering of the flock" that feasts together, rests together in sabbath, and travels together (through songs of worship as well as justice work) showed us what the basic principles of a faith community should be.

In reading the Mandate magazine article of Berlin Guerrero who was recently freed from prison in the Philippines, I was amazed that he managed to continue his theological training in his context. Now, that is making lemonade out of lemons!
