Thank you, David. I have used the metaphysical interpretation of that story many times, but I have never before thought "What about the Road?" I appreciate you and your commitment to giving life to our principles. How about coming to Unity Church of the Hills sometime? Blessings!
Hi David - so glad it was helpful. I would love to come to Unity Church of the Hills - anytime! I just did Unity of Portland (where my family and I attend), and the workshop sold out 40+ . Anytime and anyway I can support you - please let me know.
REACH‼️ David, your use of metaphor is brilliant and graphic. As a long time racial justice advocate, I appreciate you publicly calling out the marginalization of black and brown people, and offering constructive and realistic ways to approach change. You represent the “Young Blood” that keeps the moment moving forward. Thank you.
It was lovely seeing you, and hearing you speak on Sunday. It’s nice having you back in Portland.
The parable never asked us to become better Samaritans forever. It asked us why the road keeps producing bodies. Charity without reconstruction is just sanctified maintenance of harm.
Just when we all thought we knew the Good Samaritan story cold you came along and illumined it in a whole new light. Brilliant. And my two cents—it’s important to read the story as it was intended—as parable not journalism. That’s why your plumbing of the depths of its metaphorical imagery, and the investigation of the relevance of that imagery in this American moment is so profound. Thank you. P.S., I had the pleasure of hearing and meeting Rev. Flunder once a few years ago at a conference at The Unity Center in San Diego. A remarkable preacher/teacher. She blew right through her 20 minute talk time and went over an hour but no one cared. When you're raising the roof, time doesn't seem to matter.
I was at that conference. I was part of AGNT that put it together. I invited bishop Flunder. I just finished a call with Rev. Wendy and it was mentioned on the call how pivotal that conference was to a project she and I are working on right now.
This is an amazing piece. Thank you for it. I will share it widely.

Opps - PREACH ‼️

That's right! That's when I met you for the first time. Say hi to Wendy for me.
