Dear Fellow Preachers,
What does the way of the cross mean for George W. Bush this week? What does it mean for troops in Kuwait, or pilots on carriers in the Persian Gulf? How is a student opposed to war with Iraq to be conformed to the image of Christ crucified? And what is the way of the cross for the average preacher and his or her hearers this Sunday?
This week's installment of The Immediate Word features material by team member George Murphy that will probe these questions while focusing on Jesus' words about taking up the cross (Mark 8:31-38).
