Pastor Weldon deMeurers takes a look at the Parable of the Good Samaritan and its implications today. Who is our neighbor? How does Jesus expect us to act towards others? How do we relate to each other in this ethnically and racially charged climate?

WOW very powerful and something we all need to take to heart. Thank you Pastor Weldon.
Excellent homily and very personal too.
That you for being part of the newly-formed “Musings of Faith” series.
Hope and pray that we will hear you again.
Stay well during these unsettling times.
Good message Pastor Weldon………..thanks!
A wonderful commentary on a very personal level given by Pastor Weldon.
I like to think I am not racist, I have worked side by side with Jamaicans, Haitians and we got lots of warm hugs from each other.
God knows what is in my heart and if there are traces of racism there, I pray God will remove them.
We always need a refresher on being a good neighbor! Thank you Pastor Weldon!
Excellent homily – something we all need to hear. It was so good to hear
from you. We have missed your preaching. Please know our prayers and with
you and Pat.
Blessings,
Thank you Pastor Weldon …. I needed to be reminded of the good Samaritan. and its power we can all embrace…and your personal story.
Very well spoken. An important reminder that we need God’s guidance to make sure we are treating everyone with the dignity and respect they deserve.
This was very up lifting to me. How Wonderful.

God Bless
Sarah, thank you for your kind words. I appreciate them…..and you! Weldon
I think it was Sam Rayburn who said that all politics are personal. Looking back, the best sermons I’ve heard throughout my life have been personal, too. Thanks for your kind words. Weldon
Thanks for your reading, and responding. Blessings to you. Weldon
Arlene: During most of my life if I were asked, “Are you a racist,” I would have quickly said “No.” But in recent days, months, and years as I’ve tried to be open and sensitive to the realities of white systemic racism, I have decided that my thoughts, actions, and speech [mostly my thoughts] are not nearly as pure and non-judgmental as I wanted myself to be. Isn’t it a blessing that ours is a God of second and third chances? Thanks for responding. Blessings to you! Weldon
Thank you for your response. I’m most appreciative of your positive comments! And just for the record, I miss.the opportunity to preach, too. Weldon
Thank you for your thoughtful response. I am blessed by your words. They mean a great deal to me!
Many blessings! Weldon
I am always deeply moved when in our Baptismal Covenant we speak about treating ALL persons with dignity and respect. If we take those words seriously, I suspect we’ve all [most certainly including myself] have got a ways to go. Thanks so very much for your response. Weldon
You are most kind, and I very much am appreciative of those kind words in your response. Blessings, Chuck, to you in these times of change and turmoil in your life. My prayers are with you! Weldon

Weldon…I truly appreciate your courage to speak truth. It is something that we all need to hear. Racism must be confronted and I remember a time when hatred of others was accepted. I am grateful for your reminder that we need to look within.
Thanks, Donna K for your encouragement and thoughtful response. I appreciate your words, and YOU! Weldon
