Bethesda (MD) Presbyterian Church - Rev. Chuck Booker, Pastor. Scripture: John 1:35-39. The DC area is heavily "professionalized" - an easy place to become siloed into one's specialty, unmoored from a broader, deeper presence in our world. Jesus' example that puts a premium on presence - "Come and see" where I am staying, he says - stands as a glorious antidote to a life that would be defined by one's profession.
