BOOK CLUB WILL MEET MONDAY, NOV. 6
The
Finding Faith Through Fiction Book Club will meet next on Monday, November 6 at 7 pm in the undercroft. This month's reading is "The Red Tent" by Anita Diamant.
Her name is Dinah. In the Bible, her life is only hinted at in a brief and violent detour within the more familiar chapters of the Book of Genesis that are about her father, Jacob, and his dozen sons. T
old in Dinah's voice, this novel reveals the traditions and turmoils of ancient womanhood-the world of the red tent. It begins with the story of her mothers-Leah, Rachel, Zilpah, and Bilhah-the four wives of Jacob. They love Dinah and give her gifts that are to sustain her through a damaged youth, a calling to midwifery, and a new home in a foreign land. Dinah's story reaches out from a remarkable period of early history and creates an intimate, immediate connection.

MESSAGE FROM FATHER DAVID
Render to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God
This week's gospel focuses on our devotion and allegiance to our faith in God.
When Jesus said, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's," He was drawing a sharp distinction between two kingdoms. There is a kingdom of this world, and Caesar holds power over it. But there is another kingdom, not of this world, and Jesus is King of that (
John 18:36). Christians are part of both kingdoms, at least temporarily. Under Caesar, we have certain obligations that involve material things. Under Christ, we have other obligations that involve things eternal. If Caesar demands money, give it to him-it's only
mammon. But make sure you also give God what He demands. Caesar minted coins, as he had a right to do, and he demanded some coins in return, as was his right. After all, his image was stamped on what he had made. God has "minted" the human soul, and He has stamped His image on every one (
Genesis 1:27). So give Caesar his due-the temporary stuff of this world-but make sure to give God His due: "Offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness" (
Romans 6:13).
