TWENTY-THIRD SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST - November 13, 2022

Morsel for Meditation

He who knows only his own side of the case, knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side; if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion. The rational position for him would be suspension of judgment. ... Ninety-nine in a hundred of what are called educated men are in this condition; even of those who can argue fluently for their opinions.

Their conclusion may be true, but it might be false for anything they know: they have never thrown themselves into the mental position of those who think differently from them, and considered what such persons may have to say; and consequently they do not, in any proper sense of the word, know the doctrine which they themselves profess. ... So essential is this discipline to a real understanding of moral and human subjects, that if opponents of all important truths do not exist, it is indispensable to imagine them, and supply them with the strongest arguments which the most skillful devil's advocate can conjure up. — John Stuart Mill, On Liberty, II

Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which you have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

AROUND THE DIOCESE

"Abandon All Worry to God"

The 127th Diocesan Convention focused on the parish, particularly coming out of COVID and the tumul-tuous times of our day. The Rt. Rev. George Sumner told the crowd of more than 400 people that despite the challenges of our culture, we are to be together in community. “As with everything spiritual, in the face of resistance, of ourselves and others, we are to run toward each other, not away…,” he said.
