Politics 'trumps' Ephesians
In the opening verses of this week’s epistle passage, the writer of Ephesians makes a heartfelt plea for comity and respect -- begging the readers of his letter to live “with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love.” But as team member Robin Lostetter points out in this installment of The Immediate Word, even a cursory glance at the headlines suggests that this request has fallen on deaf ears in our society. The most glaring current example, of course, is the ongoing soap opera that is Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.
