For Pentecost, Henry Neufeld challenged us to look beyond Christian Exceptionalism and recognize inspired acts of kindness in anyone touched by the Holy Spirit. Ed Epp related a story of unexpected help when he was able to hitch-hike a ride in an already-full car on a cold day. In our spiritual journey, may we each see the "God particle" in everyone, since they too were made in the image of God. The Jesuit Theologian Karl Rahner described "Anonymous Christians" as unintentional followers of Christ, as the Apostle Paul suggested in Romans 2. Yet we are still called to make disciples as we recognize, support and extend the work of God's Spirit in others. [KH]
