I heard that he said it, and I agree with the sentiment expressed... Wasn’t it Rubel who said, “If God is your Father [referring to Muslims and Jews], then you are my brother” ???

From my limited experience in the church, there seems to be few people who has been loved and hated as much as Rubel. I hope he writes a autobiography some day. www.matthewsblog.waynesborochurchofchrist.org There have been few men who have had the impact on the church as much as Rubel has.

As to Pepperdine and Malibu, I have to say that my brief trip to Abilene this weekend to pick up my daughter from ACU will be an exhilaration and a disappointment. I think you know the source of each. Peace.

I thought it was funny because of all of the ways I have heard our brother referred to, this is one I had never heard.

And that's saying a lot--with all the wonderful teachers and friends there. It was a great year wasn't it! Thanks again for giving us so much in your class. I wish everyone I know could hear your classes and experience worship with you and Zoe in Smothers.

Good for Rochester!! He was the first to crack open the door to full church membership for me. His were the first words I ever heard about women having equal responsibility and right to develop and exercise their God-endowed gifts. He occupies a very special place in my heart. As far as Pepperdine and Malibu are concerned, envy does such strange things to my complexion. I refuse to comment on anything that changes my face to a most unattractive green. ;) But I'll welcome you home anyway. :) Dear Rubel!
