Indianapolis itself is a relocation area for the Burmese who have been escaping religious and ethnic persecution.\u00a0 Last year, Indianapolis had nearly <a href=\"http:\/\/www.baci-indy.org\/about\">14,000 refugees<\/a> from Burma, about 80% of whom are Chin, Karen, and Karenni.\u00a0 They often have few skills in English, aside from needing to negotiate strange new stores, food, clothes, and roadways\u2014not to mention the cultural idiosyncrasies (of which there are many) in any given Midwestern city.<\/p>\n<p>It is immensely easy to ignore the suffering in our midst.\u00a0 And, preoccupied as I normally am during worship, I\u2019d never quite bothered to notice how many Burmese families were part of our congregation.\u00a0 After watching the little boy, I began to scan the congregation.\u00a0 I realized that about a quarter of the assembly that morning was probably of Burmese origin.\u00a0 &#8220;How is it possible,&#8221; I wondered, &#8220;for me not to have noticed such a dramatic shift in population and congregational make-up?&#8221;\u00a0 But, I suppose, as the story of Lazarus suggests, if we can ignore Moses and the prophets, not even someone rising from the dead would waken us from our stupor.<\/p>\n<p>Just as the rich man longed for Lazarus to dip his finger in cool water, the little boy\u2019s tears began trickling into my consciousness; sitting on my organ bench, I began to wonder not &#8220;<em>how could someone ignore the suffering in their midst<\/em>,&#8221; but how &#8220;<em>could I ignore the suffering in my midst<\/em>?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I admit I do not have an immediate answer.\u00a0 But, in the meantime, I think I should start paying better attention to not only the Gospel\u2014but to the world around me, the one to which the Gospel calls us to go out and spread the good news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just as the rich man longed for Lazarus to dip his finger in cool water, the little boy\u2019s tears began trickling into my consciousness;
