Two UC congregations unite
ttees, as a Canadian interviewer,
spoke with "Moses", Flora Robert-
son, in costume, asking about the Na-
tional Dream of the Hebrew people.
Moses replied saying "we were
picked to belong to God and to be a
kind of message from God to the
whole world". The interview brought
out many facts about the special kind
of life lived by the Hebrews people
and now the Jewish people, which sets
them somewhat apart from Chris-
tians, their special rituals and
liturgies which affect their faith, cer-
tain foods in special ways, studying
the Torah, marrying within their own
people, rejecting the lifestyles of
other nations, etc.
In turn, "Moses" asked the inter-
viewer about Canada's National
Dream whether or not it was just a
dream of national unity. The reply
was that it was a unity combined with
freedom, peace, brotherhood and
justice. They touched on bilingualism
and biculturalism and the need for
more understanding. Moses advised
that we should all "be God's people
first" living in love as one big family
and that "love creates love".
Anyone wishing more information
regarding this dialogue should con-
tact Marjorie Park, 227-4774, who ar-
ranged the special service.
