Is There Something Beyond Thanksgiving?

There is a lot to give thanks for this Sunday after our country's annual



remembrance of the feast celebrated by the Pilgrims and their Native



American guests that first harvest after their arrival. But we should



remember the no thanks that should have gone with it - like the no thanks



for forcing the local tribes off their lands those many years ago and the



no thanks for turning what had become our country's one truly Interfaith



Religious holiday - a time when our congregation used to celebrate with



our Jewish and other neighbors, into a time best remembered for over-



eating and football games. So, along with our thanks, to what should we be



saying no thanks.
