Well, ok, it isn’t exactly done, but it is done enough to dedicate, and it is done enough to celebrate.

This Ruth is not just a caricature of womanly piety or a model of femininity—which is good, because I don’t fit that model very well. Instead, I would describe her as substantial, complicated and someone who seeks out meaning in her life with a kind of quiet resolve. She plays a very substantial role in God’s plan for Israel and God’s plan for redemption for all of us. http://www.northminster-indy.org/sermons/back-to-the-future http://www.northminster-indy.org/mediafiles/sermon-nov-8-2009-rcm.mp3 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 01:14:15 GMT Ruth Moore The Ruth from the Bible is an example for me on how to live my life.

One month we were meeting at the offices of the Roman Catholic archdiocese. Our host was the local Cardinal. We were all ushered into a very formal sitting room where chairs had been arranged in a circle. I walked across the room and took a seat. A few minutes later the Cardinal’s assistant came into the room and told us that the Cardinal was not well and would be unable to join us but the assistant would be our host. He then came to me and whispered in my ear that I was sitting in the Cardinal’s chair ... http://www.northminster-indy.org/sermons/our-place-at-the-table http://www.northminster-indy.org/mediafiles/sermon-oct-18-2009-tt.mp3 Sun, 18 Oct 2009 19:40:39 GMT Dr. Teri Thomas When I was living and working in Washington DC I had a monthly breakfast meeting with the regional leaders of the various denominations.
