Dear Friends:
My Colleagues List letter to you is shorter than many,
but I do include with some of my regular themes a
lengthy but rich essay by a favourite teacher of mine -
Barbara Brown Taylor.
I hope you find this CL issue rewarding.
Colleague Mark Harris retires this week after 5 years
of service as principal-dean of Martin Luther University
College, Waterloo, ON, Thanks for your support, Mark,
and best wishes for your future endeavours.
Wayne

WISDOM OF THE WEEK
Provided by Sojourners and the Bruderhof online:
There can be no deep disappointment
where there is not deep love.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
--
Without community, there is no liberation...but community
must not mean a shedding of our differences, nor the
pathetic pretense that these differences do not exist.
- Audre Lorde
--
Time / Like a petal in the wind / Flows softly by /
As old lives are taken / New ones begin /
A continual chain / Which lasts throughout eternity /
Every life but a minute in time / But each of equal importance
- Cindy Cheney
--
Obviously, while I love all, I must, like Christ, have a
special love for the poor. At the last judgement, we shall
all be judged by the treatment we have given to Christ,
to Christ in the person of those who are hungry or thirsty,
who are dirty, wounded, and oppressed.
- Dom Helder Camara
--
I am not afraid of being thought a sentimentalist when I say
that I believe natural beauty has a necessary place in the
spiritual development of an individual or a society. I believe
that whenever we destroy beauty, or whenever we substitute
something manmade and artificial for a natural feature of the
earth, we have retarded some part of our spiritual growth.
- Rachel Carson
--
CLOSING THOUGHT - Helen Keller
Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full
of the overcoming of it.
