Pentecost 16 – The hand that gives life – Mark 7: 24-37

Welcome to Word Around The Bush!  Two remarkable readings in which we find the Christ of compassion that emerges through the barriers of culture, legalism, tradition and oppression.  These passages are a challenge to read and dwell with as much in our modern world as the acts of Christ were 2000 years ago.  This week’s theme is called – The hand that gives life!
