The Biblical scholar Walter Brueggemann says, “Telling parables was one of Jesus' revolutionary activities, for parables are subversive re-imagining of reality...These stories haunt us and push us in directions we never thought we would go.” Interim Minister the Rev. Lisa Romantum Schwartz examines a story from the past that might help us envision our bold future.
