God's Act in Acts

Luci Shaw

A blast of wind grates its weight

across our church's slate roof, tugs

at the stained glass windows. And just at

this moment a wild morning sun blazes

through the nave like a signal, blessing

the altar, lighting the preacher's face.

And I remember the ancient story--

about a sacred wind that carried Your

hot breath. A wildfire, it licked

the heads of the locals, formed words,

spread in a conflagration of gospel speech,

grew until whole languages roared

beyond all borders.

Strike our dull matches. Light us today

even if our dark wicks only flicker in a corner.

Translate our lives into Your words.

“What is a rabbi?”

On December 29, 2021, reigning Jeopardy! champion Amy Schneider selected

the $800 clue in the “I Am Woman” category. A picture of me, draped in a

purple-striped prayer shawl, appeared in the box along with this clue: “Koreanborn Angela Buchdahl is the first Asian American to be ordained a cantor as well as this leader of a Jewish congregation.” If you had told me as a little girl, newly immigrated with my Buddhist Korean mother and Jewish American father to a tiny Jewish community in Tacoma, Washington, that one day I would be featured as the Jeopardy! clue for “What is a rabbi?,” I would have said, That’s impossible.

This is the story of an unlikely rabbi. A story that could only happen in America.
