EMBRACING DEATH

Our greatest prejudice is against death. It spans age, gender and race. We spend immeasurable amounts of energy fighting an event that will eventually triumph. Though it is noble not to give in easily, the most alive people I’ve ever met are those who embrace their death. They love, laugh and live more fully.

-Andy Webster, hospice chaplain in Plymouth, Michigan

STAINED GLASS CHAPLAINS

This is a stained glass window in the Pentagon entitled 'Four Chaplains'.

QUOTE FROM JESUS MANIFESTO

Paul said that 'Jesus is head over all things for the church'.  Notice, Jesus is not head over all things for the state, but for the church.  All things are placed under His feet, Paul wrote, but Jesus has been appointed 'head' of 'all things' for the church.

Some have made Jesus the chaplain of the American Dream.  Others have made Him the chaplain of the Democratic Party.  Still others have made Him the chaplain of capitalism and Republicanism.  All are equally blasphemous.  But most blasphemous of all is those who would decapitate the head from its body and to render Christ irrelevant.

Jesus Manifesto, Leonard Sweet & Frank Viola pp.105, 106

WHAT CANADIAN MUSLIMS ARE SAYING

A group of Canadian Muslim clerics have signed a statement condemning radical Islam.  They present the case of a peace-loving Islam which is respectful of culture and diversity.

As a Canadian Christian connected to multi-faith relationships, I find their statements to be consistent with the Muslims and Imams that I have met.  I applaud their efforts to live harmoniously with all people.

Canada is a good place to birth change that can have global impact.

WHAT YOU WOULD WANT FROM A CHRISTIAN CHAPLAIN

Just how many ways can you interpret the words of Jesus in John 14:5-6, 'I am the way and the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me,' ... The worst this chaplain could be convicted of is ascribing to orthodox Christian historic faith, which is what I would think you would want from a Christian chaplain.
