Another Sad Day

The administration has set refugee admissions for 2020 at a devastating 18,000 , cutting refugee admissions to an unprecedented historic low and further decimating the refugee resettlement program. For nearly four decades, the average number of refugees admitted to the US each year has been 95,000. After a virtual shutdown of the U.S. asylum system, this announcement comes as a tragic blow not only to vulnerable people fleeing violence and persecution, but also to this country’s humanitarian legacy. In addition, the President has issued an executive order allowing states and local governments to deny entry to refugees already approved for travel from entering those states. This is nothing short of a refugee ban. The Administration is constricting the heart of America, and ignoring the Golden Rule. We are better than this!

"Dream On" -- A Sermon at Warren Point Presbyterian Church, Dec. 8

Jeff has been pastor there since September 1979. I met him when I moved to Franklin Lakes in 1985....

Thank You, Hitchcock!

I had a joyous time yesterday in Scarsdale reconnecting with friends at Hitchcock Presbyterian Church (and seeing Michelle and Andy Loeb from Forest Hills!). I led a discussion of chapter 3 of Brian McLaren’s book, The Great Spiritual Migration: How the World's Largest Religion Is Seeking a Better Way to Be Christian . Then I shared "The Greedy Python" with the kids, and preached "How to Avoid Hades on Earth" for the adults. The audio of the sermon is available here: https://tinyurl.com/avoidhades It was my first time back to preach--ever--in a church where I served previously. So I'm very grateful to Pastor Pete Jones for asking. --Jack Lohr PS: Thanks to Hyun Hwang for the photo!
