Parish Bulletin August 18th 2019



Loyalty to the truth requires courage. The danger with half truths is the probability that I’m telling or falling for the wrong half. How essential are the unsung prophets in our community. A poem by Paster Niemoller, a victim of the Holocaust illustrates this.


First they came for the Jews

and I did not speak out -

because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the Communists

and I did not speak out -

because I was not a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists

and I did not speak out -

because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for me

and there was no one left

to speak for me.
