A Schizophrenic’s Flipflop: Luke’s parable

I once spoke to a young schizophrenic man who talked to me outside, after it had rained.  I was about to sit down on a very wet bench when he did something very kind.  We look at the Gospel of Luke, the Gospel that has a number of unique parables in it, including the Good Samaritan.  We look at the traditional interpretation, and we look at a more theological interpretation.  Then we look at the impact that this schizophrenic man had on me.
