Bible Note: Thank you for your thoughts. Indeed we have to place our priorities carefully -- but also in a balanced way. (I think abortion is an important issue -- but if we ONLY focused on that, well....) There are a lot of societal issues that need legislation (ie. scrubbers on smoke stacks) but also things I can do on my own. Limiting car use, living close to work and church, buying local produce (I've been getting a food box from a local farm: so fresh, it's amazing."Organic" too), upgrading insulation in the house... I am not radical or thorough about these things, but I am trying to move forward, and I consider them small acts of faithfulness. If we all picked a few issues, and diligently worked out faithful responses, things would be much better. For example, I had a friend who was very passionate about the situation in Sudan -- and she invited people from our church to attend a protest raising the issues (including the role of a Canadian oil company) -- so we could all help because she did a lot of research and had a vision for justice. In our local abundance, we can be blind to the needs of the world around us. Lord, have mercy on us as we try to serve. Peace to you. |
