Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood
So, this morning I am teaching on the Parable of the Good Samaritan. I thought that the idea of being a neighbor is central to this passage and thought about Mr. Rogers’ neighborhood. My childhood memories flooded back to me as I watched an episode. I wanted to be his neighbor, but at the same time my adult cynicism overwhelmed me and I thought how Mr. Rogers’ could be viewed as a creepy neighbor preying on young kids. What a crazy world we live in, where the world’s most lovable neighbor can be viewed in a bad light!
