I am beginning to believe that <I>context</I> is the paramount thing for any communication to be effective. Words in a vacuum are nothing. And I believe that it is this necessity of context which has created vast confusion among well-meaning persons who perceive a conflict where none exists. <BR/><BR/>If this sermon had been given on the Mount, we would all be Muslims. Charisma is vital when one expects one's communications to be remembered for two thousand years, let alone until tomorrow morning.Pretty Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00342833918614545778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403719.post-1151711133149988252006-06-30T19:45:00.000-04:002006-06-30T19:45:00.000-04:00Woof...well done.I am imagining Mother J at the Se...Woof...well done.<BR/>I am imagining Mother J at the Sermon on the mount, with such twaddle falling from his lips. It reminds me of Max von Sydow's portrayal of Jesus in 1965's <B>The Greatest Story Ever Told </B>. He did not seem to have a <I>context</I> for any of his lines...he would be walking along with his crew, when suddenly he would allow a Wise Aphorism to plop from his lips, like some animate vending machine.<BR/>Thanks for your input on this, from one who considered the Episcopal priesthood as a yout'.The Aardvarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11425052822588090155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403719.post-1151702428867432212006-06-30T17:20:00.000-04:002006-06-30T17:20:00.000-04:00No, dear, Jesus told me.No, dear, Jesus told me.Pretty Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00342833918614545778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403719.post-1151698119707042142006-06-30T16:08:00.000-04:002006-06-30T16:08:00.000-04:00Oh wow...
