A service of worship in Duke University Chapel. The Reverend Dr Samuel Wells delivers a sermon entitled "Things Hidden from the Wise." opening excerpt from the sermon: (20:18) "During the 1630s, the French colony of Quebec was evangelized by Jesuit priests and Ursuline nuns. They spent a great deal of time with First Nations people, especially the Huron tribe. The Catholic missionaries were bemused to find a people who didn't speak French, and assumed that because the Huron couldn't speak French, they obviously weren't capable of rational thought, and should therefore be treated like children. By contrast the Huron wanted to show hospitality to the French missionaries, and the biggest compliment they knew how to give the priests and nuns was to invite them to instruct, feed and dress their children." Closing excerpt from the sermon: (41:55) "Whom do you ignore? What do you ignore? What in your regular surroundings do you consistently overlook? Who in your circle or community do you regard as of no account? To whom do you consistently find yourself saying, "Not now, Bernard"? What in yourself do you profoundly neglect? Listen up. You may have just discovered where God is revealing the secret of all things." Sermon begins at 20:18. Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30 Bulletin: http://bit.ly/qfeHFf
