Nationalism

2022-08-26 Posted by Don Scribbles, Uncategorized

There is this belief that everyone should be like us.  It makes Nationalists comfortable, and everyone else fears for everything.  The thought that you are right and others (everyone else) wrong is predicated on the belief that if you scare the different among you enough, that will force them to be like you.  That is not conversion.  It instills fear.  If actions silence others, how will you and they journey together?  Truth be told:  we grow only in welcoming the stranger and walking together.

 

Journey Well!

About Don

In various places throughout this blog, I describe me. But even then, I am more than that and often times less. I am a wanderer. Exploring gives me joy. I cook, and that is the reason for the entries that appear as both recipes and restaurant reviews. Knowledge and the ability to take that knowledge and build wisdom and insight makes me want to hop, skip and shout. I counsel, as a pastor, a spiritual director, and as the fool that is willing to live in dialogue. It is that foolishness informs this blog, my musing about faith, religion, and, life.

About Me

I recently celebrated the 40th anniversary of ordination as a pastor. This blog springs from a few years of writing, counseling and foolishness. Anything you find in the word cloud on the home page applies or has applied during this journey. Computers, shepherding and musing. Living, reach out………..
