Under the same glaring sun rising in Panama and in Korea, with the same azure ocean of the Pacific in Fiji and in America, we feel solidarity. Yet this solidarity slowly comes through critical reflections on vulnerability of our life -- a moment of life shatteredness. Through the mode of "I am nothing" we can be born again and again, like the ever-glowing sun and enduring sea. --YSK

"Thanks also for calling attention to your book on the body of Christ in 1 Corinthians. I read the attachment that you sent, and it sounds like your interpretation and ours are very supportive of each other. I do think the body image is about inclusive egalitarianism in the new life in Christ, and not about sharp social boundaries. With best wishes as your own vocation and journey continue to unfold." -- A Message from Marcus Borg, the author of The First Paul.
