By Tom Holmes Verified| Forest Park Review Verified Can suffering ever be a good thing? Can suffering ever be redemptive? I ask that because today is right in the middle of a holy week for both Jews and Christians, and the stories that are told both have to do with suffering. Jews are observing Passover. The Passover narrative begins with the people of Israel suffering as slaves in Egypt. Slavery produces suffering, which is never redemptive.
By Tom Holmes Verified| Forest Park Review Verified I try to look at both sides of an issue. On one side of the “Altenheim’s backyard”debate, I hear, “Don’t sell any of the 11 acres the village purchased in 2001. Keep it green. I cheered when Forest Park bought the 11 acres, in part to prevent it from being developed into townhouses like the ones across the street. My instinct is to retain as much nature in our urban environment as possible. I therefore have supported the commitment of this community to steward our urban forest.
