In last week’s edition of my
“Thoughts Along the Way” reflection I shared with you
information regarding plans being considered by the Washington County
Board of Commissioners to close the public health clinics currently
being operated by the county. I was reminded afterwards that there
are always at least two sides to every story. So, in an effort to be
fair-minded and even-handed, I want to share with you information
from two different sources. This link will take you to a response from Washington County officials. And
this link will take you to several pieces of information provided by the
Western Farm Workers Association. The WFWA opposes the plan to close
the clinics. As I said in last week’s reflection, I believe that
Jesus made it abundantly clear that we are called to care for the
last, the lost and the least among us. Figuring out how best to
accomplish that goal can be challenging. And it is an important
enough goal that we need to give it our thoughtful, careful,
prayerful consideration. I invite you to reflect on how you might
respond.
