Quote of the Week...

Food for Thought...

The quote from above, “Pray not for Arab or Jew for Palestinian, or Israeli, but pray, rather for ourselves, that we might not divide them in our prayers, but keep them both together in our hearts,” is from the front door of the Ahli Arab Hospital that was bombed in Gaza. The hospital is run by the Anglican Church and overseen by Archbishop Hosam Naoum.  In what continues to be one degree of separation, the prayer came to my attention during the Episcopal Church in Connecticut call on Wednesday morning. The clergyman who heads up Jerusalem Peacebuilders, The Rev. Nicholas Porter, reported out on what was happening in the hospital. It was painful to hear. A question followed his presentation, “What can I do?  What are people to do?”  Rev. Porter’s response was to be actively engaged in ways that did not divide, but sought to recognize and promote the humanity of the victims.
