Quote of the Week...

Food for Thought...

We tragically lost a wonderful friend and pastoral colleague this week. The Rev. Dr. Tommie Jackson died on Wednesday after a terrible accident by his home. Tommie was a strong and clear voice for justice, understanding, and equity in our community. He preached a number of times at St. Francis and participated in many Interfaith Council programs and events. He was thoughtful, passionate, and erudite in his engagement on issues. Those in the clergy community, non-profit world, government, and other areas of civic life are shocked and saddened by this loss. Tommie's loss is a reminder of the fragility of life and a call for us to keep acting for what is good and right wherever and whenever we can. Rest eternal grant him, O Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon him.

the Week

I didn't realize it until recently that George Winston died in June. Rest in Peace. His "seasons" work is beautiful. Here is a Lullaby from Summer . . .

Deeper

We listened to this interview with Barbara Kingsolver while driving around Chicago. It is an excellent interview filled with wisdom, pathos, and compassion. Kingsolver's recent novel Demon Copperhead is the focus of much of the interview. . . .
