Jesus instructed those who chose to be followers of The Way--and this includes us today--not just to preach, but to teach and heal.
In the light of this I ask: Is our church really serious about being involved in the healing ministry and the integration of body, mind and spirit so much a part of the ministry of Jesus.?
In our concern, and rightly so, the ecology of our globe let us also include the ecology of our individal bodies.
It is odd that the good books say not to worship the symbols but the understanding. However man does not take well to a spiritual job ... that's spooky and he is afear in the dark. Last night on Jeopardy they introduced a question regarding misanthropy as the "hate" of mankind. Webster states the word means "fear", but then fear is the root of hate ... and caring, well; that is another matter ... ante mana? Ides worth digging into: mana of understanding.
