It was Malcolm Gladwell in his book "The Tipping Point," who made the case that "connectors" are a vital force in creating new social (economic) movements. So perhaps the Levites, for the very formation of tribal localities and structures has the danger of silo'd partitions. Therefore we have the formal and perhaps theoretical establishment of a group whose function is to connect, which is perhaps one of the more mundane aspects of these "technicians of the sacred". And when I look at what is going on in our country today, I see how vital the role of connectors is.
And it is not only people who do this work, but forms as well, ministries and books and projects in the arts. Eg: Storahtelling.
And how tragic when instead of being the connectors that bridge and glue us back together, so many of today's - and yesterday's - spiritual providers and sacred technicians sow discord and disconnection instead? Well worn Levi's are age well, but torn apart to pieces they expose too much of what we'd rather not see and keep us shivering.. Here's to the levites who heal and our friendships that nurture.
