Anti-hate group keeps eye on investigation in Duluth
The robust investigation into the fire that destroyed Adas Israel Congregation synagogue in Duluth is being viewed as 'very positive and reassuring,' said an Anti-Defamation League official based in Chicago. On his fifth day on the job back in May, there was an attempted arson at a Jewish worship and community center in Chicago — among the latest in a two-year escalation of anti-Semitic incidents in the United States. Months later, David Goldenberg is watching closely as events unfold in Duluth following the Monday fire that destroyed the Adas Israel Congregation synagogue at 302 E. Third St. in Duluth. The cause of the fire remains undetermined.  As Midwest regional director for the Anti-Defamation League in Chicago, Goldenberg is tracking developments and monitoring the community response. He was pleased to learn the authorities had quadrupled their presence by Tuesday to about 20 investigators, and that other faith places had been offering worship space and other kindnesses.

What does John 17 say about unity?
If I was given sixpence every time I heard someone quoted John 17.21 ‘…that they might be one…’ then I’d have a lot of change that I wouldn’t know what to do with. It is commonly suggested that, in this, Jesus’ ‘high priestly prayer’, we see his last desire expressed to his heavenly Father, and that desire is for his people to have visible unity. We must therefore take this seriously, and make it a priority above other issues since, after all, it was so important to Jesus that it formed his final wish.
