I wrote this to place in pews in First United Methodist Church of Oak Park, Illinois. Nancy and I also sent it out with our Christmas letter in 2008 with this thought,
. Ed composed the enclosed bookmark for our church’s hymnals as an aid to prayer and meditation for the community that sustains us. Accept it as a kind of distilled worldview of his faith—albeit a work in progress. We share it trusting that whatever your faith, most thoughts will resonate with the faith out of which you also live under God.
