Rob Ross, rector of Holy Trinity (our church) challenged us tonight to think of something we would offer up for Lent. I decided to research and write about bigotry and tolerance. These lenten days and nights I will really try to understand the roots of bigotry, and chronicle examples of tolerance. I will really try to understand, and not just rant...

Oh, that the President and the people of the religious right would heed the words of tonight's Ash Wednesday gospel (Matthew, Chapter 6):
Beware of practicing your piety before men in order to be seen by them; for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven...
And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.
To which I'd add, make no public announcements proposing mean-spirited Constitutional amendments just to win some votes...

Busy day, not much time to write, but just can't bear to see this happening to our country. What a disaster this administration has been for our economy, our standing in the world community and now for tolerance...
