I know there are concerns about A094, the continuation of the Task Force on Communion Across Diffrence. I think this needs to continue. There remains work to do to ensure we embrace what I believe to be a charism of our church: #gc81

What worries me about this is that in furthering the association between Chanukah celebrations and the war in Gaza it increases the likelihood of antisemitic attacks against other Menorah lightings elsewhere.

OETA (local PBS station) is offering Trans-Siberian CDs for a donation. I am guessing GenX and younger is not their target market.

Maybe the overwhelmed and overworked retail clerk who just made a mistake with your purchase is also struggling with personal issues during the busy holiday rush. You don't know their story. Your kindness means everything to them. Be kind. It costs you nothing.

Debt jubilee is amazing. We should have more of this. Clearly, the world lost a good one when Casey McIntyre died. But her vision will transform thousands of lives. www.nytimes.com/2023/11/19/u...
