We're in Philly. It's the day of Evie's follow-up appointment with the surgeon. She had to have a chest X-ray so we gave ourselves plenty of time to be caught in traffic and get the X-ray before the meeting with the surgeon. Now, we're just killing time.
As I was when I was here to visit her when she was a patient, I'm amazed at the number of people here who are Muslim and, obviously, not of Middle Eastern ancestry. And, many of them millennials.
And, my heart breaks over the ineptitude of the institutional, shepherd dominated, parish priest obsessed American church in taking the powerful, life-changing gospel of Jesus into our world.
You who have a death grip on the church, you have to step aside and empower men and women living in and empowered by the Spirit to reach our world...before it's too late.
