Rev Bill

I have not taken the time I need — or want — for my Blog lately. I don’t know why — I enjoy it — I guess I’ve been busy. 2 cataract surgeries, going to South Carolina for Thanksgiving, Church members having serious surgeries, going to help my wife at Pottery Shows, and — o yea — ministry at the Church and the Outreach Center — leaves me pretty tired by the end of the day. Not that I dont enjoy all those things — I do — and would not give them up for anything — it just explains why I have not blogged lately.
What brings me back to the Blog?
I came across an article in Sojourners weekly e-mail that interested me. A lot of stuff in Sojourners interest me — I like their stand on religious / moral / political affairs. Anyway — this particular article was entitled The Power Of Reconciliation – and was a very moving story of how Jim Wallis, editor of Soujourners, and Dr. Bill Bright of Campus Crusade for Christ disagreed sharply and publicly over the role of religion in the public arena — but finally reconciled with each other and even began to support each other’s work — even though they did not completely agree.
I e-mailed it to my nephew, Rob, who works for Campus Crusade. He blogged about it — and also directed those who read his blog (a great read if you have never read it) to a blog of a friend of his. The message of reconciliation this article brings is spreading in both liberal and conservative circles — which I find to be a wonderful, marvelous thing!
I found this article to be a moving story of how Christians can support each other even if they do not agree — and how God wills for us all to be reconciled to each other.
In the midst of a very busy Advent, that is an important lesson for me — and all of us - to remember. Until next time (whichI hope will not be long) — Peace! Bill
