Please allow me to introduce to you Barbara Hope who holds a BA from Boston College, and a Th.M (Master of Theology) from Harvard Divinity School. She is also a mother to four children, now in their forties and fifties. As a member of the Centre Street Congregational Church, in Machias, Maine, she enjoys writing the occasional gospel and presents them for sermons. In her writing below, she shows us how easily the healing warmth of compassion can flow both from us, and in to us, regardless of having a faith in a God or not.
