To become self-assured, to close the mind to any further word from God, to be the
possessors of the final truth with no need to listen to prophets, to build institutions
without the means and occasions of self-criticism would be to write into the script
‘disciples’ instead of ‘Pharisees’ and ‘church’ instead of ‘synagogue.’”³ We do have a
place in this drama, and, perhaps, it is that we alternate among almost all of the characters
at one time or another. In the end we must ask ourselves, “Do we believe what we see, or
do we see because we believe? And in our belief, what that we do see are we called to
bring into light? Amen.
