Wisdom Search --- Commentary by Our Minister

Radical Discontinuity, Hurricane Katrina, and Faith
"Radical discontinuity" is not a phrase that you drop very often over the morning coffee. The phrase has some technical meanings in archaeology, biology, and theology, but essentially it means a sudden shocking departure from the world we expect and the one we find.

Hurricane Katrina is a radical discontinuity for us all. Typically, a major storm is locally upsetting, but there is a presumption that with time and help, things will be made right and whole again. But what do you say when things are more than broken - in the words of one observer, when "whole buildings just aren't there anymore!"? What do you say when all the taken-for-granted "infrastructure" simply no longer exists? How can you imagine a return to things as they once were after the Gulf Coast has drowned?
