Edward Reynolds was at the Westminster Assembly. Here he addresses the mayor. One would return to someone their property— it’s violence to withhold it. But when called upon to do this, by giving that which is our own to a needy person, there may be a temptation for a grudging willingness to creep upon us.
Is this grudging and unwillingness something taught and reinforced by today’s conservatism?
How can you give willingly, without grudging?

Emanuel Greenwald was a Lutheran pastor in OH & PA. He says a poor lad was oppressed by a RC priest to “pray his father’s soul out of purgatory.” When the boy had ran out of money, the priest wanted more. Some 300 years after the Protestant Reformation, indulgences were still being extracted.
Did he have to mention that the boy was poor? Is there more of a duty to speak out when the poor are abused by churches?
How can you remember the poor?

William Garden Blaikie, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, makes an argument about the religion of the Roman Empire based on how they treated slaves, women, and the poor.
Today, would many strongly object to making any linkage between religion and concern for others?
How can you show concern for those with a harder life?

John Lathrop, a Boston Congregationalist whose church was burned by the British. Says God does not permit retaliation, decries killing innocents to retaliate for wrongs. He asks what good people must think of such retaliation?
This morning I had a post removed from a Christian forum for saying a columnist ardently defending attacks on Gaza was in favor of “genocide”.
How can you refrain from retaliation in your personal life?

A quotation from Euripides:
«««««
He shall come to know
Dionysus, son of Zeus, consummate god,
most terrible, and yet most gentle, to mankind.[γνώσεται δὲ τὸν Διὸς
Διόνυσον, ὃς πέφυκεν ἐν τέλει θεός,
δεινότατος, ἀνθρώποισι δ᾽ ἠπιώτατος.]

A quotation from Dante Alighieri:
«««««
O endless wrath of God: how utterly
thou shouldst become a terror to all men
who read the frightful truths revealed to me![O vendetta di Dio, quanto tu dei
esser temuta da ciascun che legge
ciò che fu manifesto a li occhi mei!]
