April 26, 2015 “Blindness and Diaspora”

Drawing on the Book of Tobit in the apocrypha plus her own adventures in urban chicken-raising*, Pastor Tracy addressed the tragic dilemma that faces people forcibly removed from their homeland. From the Jews of the Old Testament to Africans brought here as slaves, these refugees are told they must assimilate into a new culture while that same culture refuses to accept them as equals.

Trogdor original* Trogdor the Burninator is also part of this story.  If you are unfamiliar with this latter-day icon, you can read all about his origins and cultural significance here.
