A friend is the sharer of your soul
As I read those word from Kilmer I felt my throat constrict with emotion.
At several times in my life I’ve lived in congregations that had the gift of “meeting the problems of the unloved.”
“A climate of acceptance!” Yes!
It is both a gift and a task. But it is beautiful when it happens.
It is worth working for, and it takes energy and perseverance to sustain.
But the happiest memories of my active ministry come from those times.
