By Rev David Weamer Campus Minister What? family? A Minister attacking the Presbyterian Not really I just want to sound a word of warning in the midst of the current attention the family is receiving from both civil and church folks these days One concern is that in our efforts to preserve the nuclear family as a basic social unit we might lose sight of those individuals who live by themselves I live by myself and have many single friends who also live by themselves Several of us plan on being together for Thanksgiving and I suspect that the joy and love around that fireplace will be just as warm as any other in the valley But my main concern is that we might lose sight of the one true family: the family of Man As I have often said regarding Alex Hailey's ROOTS it is not that significant to me that Alex Hailey is related to Kunta Kinte The real story for me is that Alex Hailey is related to me! Once we recognize the need we as humans have for all the people in our lives including the butcher the baker and even our worst enemy we won't have to worry about our brothers and sisters mothers and fathers They will be recipients of our love along with the rest of the world Yes let us praise the family and let us preserve it Stan Freberg put it so well in an unexpected way SHis f(y Freberg a comedian said that he had learned that the people on the planet Mars have developed a better hydrogen bomb than ours How is it better? it doesn't work Let's buy it!
