| Greetings and wishes in the name of
Christ to you from our Pastor, Rev.James Thomas and our congregation. The
First Presbyterian Church of Iselin is a multi-cultural congregation that
is located on Oak Tree Road in Iselin, New Jersey. We hope you come and visit
us very soon! . . . globs of tar washed up on white pristine beaches . . . restaurants, fish markets, roustabouts, shrimpers all idled . . . a biosphere utterly ruined for the foreseeable future . . . coastal marshes acting as petroleum collectors . . . you can't watch TV anymore without being sickened. The Lord, who created all this - Point Pleasant, the Chesapeake Bay, the Delaware Water Gap, the Gulf Stream - cries . . . weeps bitterly like Mary at the grave. The Spirit of the Lord brooded over the waters . . . Smeared with oil, Jesus can identify with some of those unfortunate pelicans in the gulf, as well and as fully as he can identify with us. May we, as Christ's body, not neglect to identify with those pelicans, with those fishermen, those shrimpers, those whale sharks, those oystermen. We have been part of the problem. It behooves us to become part of the solution. Rev. Jim http://www.pcusa.org/oga/newsstories/oil_spill_2010.htm
