What can we learn from the past to understand the present and the time to come? Do we really have a crisis in our Democracy? Has this happened before? Are we facing a new kind of American government that places governing control in the hands of a Dictator or King? Are we threatened by any change in the relationship of men to women, or to white Anglo-Saxon males by new foreign groups that are growing in our land?
If there is one line that repeats itself over and over again in the Bible, in both the Hebrew and Christian scriptures, it is “Do not be afraid” or “Fear not!”
