  4. In Duke University Divinity school in North Carolina there is a striking bronze statue of three figures, entitled Reconciliation. It shows the reluctant older brother in the story of the Prodigal Son being entreated by a frail father who is being held on to by the returning younger brother. It rather strikingly illustrates our evening theme. Margaret Adams Parker http://www.divinity.duke.edu/publications/2006.01/depts/newsmakers.htm
