A couple days late

It would have been much more timely to post this exactly seven days ago, but I´m slow on the uptake these days. In observance of the anniversary of 9/11, I recommend Pastor Heidi Neumark´s sermon from September 12, 2003. In it, she talks about the rush to war, the effect of 9/11 on workers who lost their lives in the towers, what the prophets say about religious leaders who don´t speak out against lies and injustice and abou September 11, 1973 in which Salvador Allende was deposed in Chile, with US support. Our leaders have not told the whole story about detentions and disastrous impact on vulnerable communities in the United States.

"Instead, we heard of war as a way to secure our lives against terror.
Instead of the whole truth, we heard a partial truth and we heard lies. To honor the dead and the dying, to heal our hearts, our city and our earth requires that we speak truth and live truth."
