Dear Hope Friends and Family, Every major world religion has some version of this invitation to "do unto others" in their sacred writings. Why is this challenge so pervasive across cultures and religions, and what does it mean for our day-to-day lives? Tomorrow in worship we'll look at the background for Jesus' challenge in the New Testament. And we'll recognize that it is much harder than it sounds! In It With You, Jennie
