We have, on occasion, been asked to learn another language – French, Latin, Spanish, Hebrew – for all kinds of reasons. But within each language there are sub-divisions, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=unionpresbyterian.ca&#038;blog=5408758&#038;post=1007&#038;subd=unionpresbychurch&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

When it does touch us – as with the death of Amber Kirwan, or the steady stream of news from the Tori [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=unionpresbyterian.ca&#038;blog=5408758&#038;post=996&#038;subd=unionpresbychurch&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On a day when Scripture draws our attention to habits of faith, as it certainly does in our reading from Exodus, it is troubling that John invites us to see Jesus at his most  controversial. &#160; This is one of those stories about Jesus that appear in all four gospels (a rarity).
