Sermon
'Good Grief'—The Pain That Helps Healing
Southern Ireland’s Office of Reconciliation
Ministries Evelyn O’Callaghan Burkhard spoke in
Glendora
two years ago. Her experiences as a compassionate nurse in both the
killing fields of
Cambodia
and
Rwanda
means that when she speaks we listen. Here are excerpts from her talks
on healing hurts that she gives quite often, most recently at the
Detroit ORM Biennial Conference.

Commentary
Mr.
Obama and Gov. Wallace: Matching Bookends of Race
The election of Barack Obama
as President has not only
assuaged the worries of many grim pundits and worried observers relative
to race prejudice in the United States, but it also triggered a somewhat
startling commentary by Peggy Wallace Kennedy. Mrs. Kennedy is the daughter of George
Wallace, the governor of Alabama who famously “stood in the doorway” impeding the passage
of two black students to the
University
of
Alabama
in 1963. |
