How do we come to our decisions? What realities influence our understandings of "the truth" that guides our decisions. Fr. Allen talks about the interesting parable of "The Two Sons" from the perspective of getting from "no" to "yes" in our faith! By drawing on a difficult topic in our contemporary society, the issue of structural racism he illumines the dispute between John the Baptist on the one side and the temple elite and leadership on the other. The good news is that it is Jesus himself who meets us and empowers us in the very act of making the hard decisions to be more just, loving and inclusive.
