Compassion, Conscience, Courage: The Samaritan’s Love of his Neighbor
Text: Luke 10:25-37; Micah 6:6-8
It’s World Anabaptist Fellowship Sunday. Weldon Nisly, Chair of the Community Peacemaker Team steering committee and frequent team member on the Iraqi Kurdistan and Palestine teams, connects the story of the radical, boundary crossing love of the Samaritan to the work that CPT does in their accompaniment of people experiencing violence. An outcast Samaritan cares for the one who was stripped, beaten and passed by. Jesus compels us to “Go and do likewise!”
