friends

We had a Passover dinner last night led by a Jewish Christian pastor from Chosen People Ministries. He led us through the Seder and showed the symbolic connections of Jesus’ Last Supper and the Passover Meal. The clarity of the Christian faith coming out of Judaism was fascinating.

This morning I met with two new friends who are Muslim who introduced me to their organization, Global Cultural Connections. They work to foster dialogue and understanding between Muslims, Christians, and people of other faith. We spoke of what we hold in common, and their warm and gracious invitation to be in relationship with their community was very encouraging.

I know these unrelated events that occurred in a 24 hour period are not indicative of anything more than people getting together. It did however say something about where we live. In a strange but wonderful way, the lay of the landscape that is America has something to do with it.
