In Praise of Ordinary People
Given all the troubles that exist in the world, I sometimes wonder how anything works. Well, one reason things do work is because of ordinary people who do their work effectively and without complaint or fanfare. Thus, they are often not honored because their work goes unnoticed. But here I will do just that. Rev. Harold W. Beu

The Dangers of Religion
Religion can give people sustenance, but it also can create intolerance and even violence, as we painfully know given recent history. I will attempt to separate out the wheat from the chaff in religion, of that which helps us to grow spiritually and emotionally and gives us comfort in times of trouble from that which encourages us to judge harshly others who believe differently and even makes people to want to do them harm. Rev. Harold W. Beu

On Security
Security is a central human concern. Our government lately has promoted the idea that it has promoted security by the use of military action. That is debatable, but what is not debatable is the idea that we want and need security for ourselves and our families. But security is more than just a protection from a threat from some violent group. It involves our emotional, physical and financial health as well as the well-being of the communities in which we live. Rev. Harold W. Beu
