Thinking about:
Shakespeare (circa 1600AD)
plus Malachi (circa 400BC) and Peter (circa 60AD).
*****
The lips of a priest preserve knowledge
(Malachi 2:7)
**
**
We are a kingdom of priests and we proclaim how God excels
(I Peter 2:9)
**
Hide not thy poison
**
Hide not thy poison
with such sugar'd words.
(Shakespeare, Henry VI, Part II)
(Shakespeare, Henry VI, Part II)
**
Dysfunction dupes. It does not demonstrate "how God excels."
Truth is our asset, our ally, our antidote to dysfunction.
**
Reflection and Discussion
**In what ways might we currently "misrepresent reality" with our "sugar'd" words?
**When might it be appropriate to withhold "truth"?
(assuming there is a "hierarchy of ethical values/priorities")
**What does truth have to do with member care?
