Our Neighbors in Lebanon

Martin Accad, Academic Dean of the Arab Baptist Seminary in Lebanon, has a new article in Christianity Today. It is entitled "Who is my Neighbor." Here's a quote:

My deepest admiration goes to my Christian friends and co-workers in Lebanon. They have overcome years of civil strife that built walls of fear between different religious communities in Lebanon and have become "innkeepers," opening their hearts to the needy and displaced, regardless of community affiliation. Are we, as Christians everywhere, willing to do the unthinkable and lean over those whom our conventional leaders are calling "our enemies"? Could it be that the Gospel actually calls us to put down our guns and take up instead a passion for justice and care for human life?
