In this morning’s reading from Luke’s Gospel Jesus is invited for a Sabbath meal by a leader of the Pharisees. Arriving early, he sits and watches as his fellow guests scramble for places of honor around the table. These guests know the pecking order, and they relish it. If I'm imagining the scene correctly, they jostle and shove each other, feigning dignity while still fighting for prestigious spots near the host.

As most of you know Caren and I were in England for the past couple of weeks. It was an absolutely wonderful trip … our first real vacation in over two years. We spent a few days in London, visited Canterbury, and then traveled to Dover and along the southern coast to Falmouth in Cornwall, and then back to London. Before flying home we had the honor of being invited to tea with Karen Armstrong, the originator of the Charter for Compassion.
