Keeping the faith in tough times
Each lesson for this Sunday reflects a background of change, uncertainty, threat, and social volatility. But what's new about that? Isn't such a background the norm of history rather than the exception? The potential for disorder is always around us and within us. I see Michael Crichton's novel, Jurassic Park, as a commentary on the human arrogance that believes the potential for disorder can be controlled and dinosaurian inclinations held in check. In the story it is the character, Malcom, who questions the pretension of human knowledge.
