His arthritis clearly isn't as advanced as mine is! :-) I had sending you an e-mail on my list of things I wanted to get done today. Last night on our local PBS station, WETA, they had a two hour program about the Abrhamic Faiths. Have you seen it? It's mostly a dozen or so interviews with world class theologians, clergy, authors, and professors and believers taking about relations between Christians, Muslims, and Jews. It's basically a "talking head" program, but they cut from speaker to speaker so that it seemed to be a round table discussion. It was, in my opinion, well edited, and it moved along. I found the program to be very interested and I was naughty. I stayed up past my bed time to see it through to its conclusion. As I was watching the program i was reminded of you and your "Faiths of Abraham" ( I hope that I have that right ) project. Is this TV show related to it? I found myself rather encouraged by the end of the program. I went to bed thinking that perhaps there was some hope, after all. That's a good thing. Hope is as good a single word description of Easter as any other. Then I read your post this morning and all but wept. I say this as a Cradle Irish Catholic. Perhaps progress is one step back and two forward. One of the things they did on the program last night was to ask Jews, Muslims, and Christians what they didn't like people to say about them. The Christians said they didn't like it when people called them intolerant or bigots. I spent a moment or two wondering about where that came from. the Bishop of Charlottesville has answered my question. How sad. All of us on the LUG who pray might want to pray for him.
