Christians in Chesterfield: Loving Your Neighbors As You Love Yourselves

April 26, 2010, Christianity (85), City & Commonwealth (63), Equality (12), Faith & Politics (33), In the News (Richmond) (74)

Today's RTD editorial on a textbook being proposed for use in Chesterfield County is simply superb.  The RTD has it right, and so does the ACLU.

Snip:

"What the Constitution forbids is government favoritism toward any particular religion. Christians in Chesterfield should ask how they would react if the public schools adopted a textbook calling Islam or Hinduism the one truth faith. If they're uncomfortable with that, then they also should be uncomfortable with a book that treats Christianity the same way."

SERMONS

Easter Sunday: The Rev. D. Wallace Adams-Riley

We come into the world, seeking relationship, and, seeking understanding.

LENT 2B

EPIPHANY 2B

To Bethlehem; to Bethlehem, we have come.

And, of course, this Christmas, tonight, and tomorrow, new memories are being made; a Carol sung, pure and exquisite; an old friend; warm, endearing words exchanged; a first Christmas for a new grandbaby; a candle lit, a face aglow, eyes agleam.

The Pointer’s Point

More than fifty times, in his published writings, Barth refers to the Grunewald image; and, indeed, usually, it is precisely in reference to John,  and John’s relation to the figure of Christ; as he points.
Barth (and Grunewald before him) understood John’s sole purpose to be to serve as a pointer to Christ, a reference to Christ, a witness to Christ.
