Time for Lent: Homelessness

By Beth Miller Kraybill

Our Lenten authors today, Beth Miller Kraybill and Ken Kraybill, are Mennonites from Seattle, WA. I had the privilege of studying with Beth at the Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary (AMBS) in Elkhart, IN. At a school forum, Ken gave a presentation that addressed homelessness from both a local and national perspective. The story of how their home church gradually reached out to those on the streets really spoke to me, so I invited them to share their experience as part of this series on caring for others—the heart of peace and justice. I hope you will receive their story warmly.

Hope Channel's Woman Preacher in the Middle East

Kalthoum Qewar, a Jordanian speaker, is the main speaker in a new Adventist television series produced in Lebanon for the Arabic Hope Channel.

It is unusual to see a woman preaching in the Middle East. But Qewar has planted four non-denominational churches, organized women’s conferences, and trained hundreds of men and women in ministry.

Qewar believes that there is no difference between men and women in Jesus’ sight.

St. Patrick, the Saint for All of Us?

By Bonnie Dwyer

On my first trip to Ireland as a relative newlywed with my Irish inlaws, I fell in love with the beauty of the Emerald Isle and its witty people. One day after touring a cathedral where a statue of St. Patrick stood out front, I naively asked a question that embarrasses me now when I think of it. The docent had just told us some of the amusing superstitions connected to the statue— hop around it on one foot and be married within the year type of thing.

“Was St. Patrick a Catholic or a Protestant?” I inquired.
“He was simply a Christian,” was the reply.
