[Peace-discuss] [OccupyCU] The People's Work: An Aware Liturgy

[C. G. Estabrook]

It's a parallel between the sufferings of Job (a character in the Hebrew bible) & those of the job-less in Obama's America. 

I was actually first taken with the names of Job's friends - Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite - and thought of local analogues.
