I appreciate the post, Mike. It is one of only four I received which
indicated any sort of approval, and I sent it out to 89 friends & family
as well as to two LISTSERVs. I did get one substantially negative
response, BTW.
At worship yesterday, Mohammed Jodeh, leader of the Colorado Muslim
Society and present at the prior reported events, spoke to our
congregation (of about 800) briefly, with prayers for our common sorrow
and support. Yes -- he was with us for the whole service.
Among those who chose not to comment was my son, a Southern baptist
minister. That was offset by my brother, a Lutheran minister, who
reported on an interfaith prayer gathering in his home town in which he
had a part.
It is not "them" and "us." It is only "we."
