Editor's Note: There is no printed transcript of the homily from Bishop Gumbleton because we did not receive a usable recording of the homily. The following is a telephone conversation between Bishop Gumbleton and Tom Fox about the readings for July 22. When we have transcripts and audio files of Bishop Gumbleton's talks, we will post them to NCRcafe.org.
In this NCR Podcast special, Bishop Thomas Gumbleton talks with Tom Fox about the scripture readings for Sunday July 22. Gumbleton says the main theme of the readings is becoming a welcoming people. He discusses hospitality in the Hebrew tradition and the Gospel story of Martha and Mary. He draws from these lessons implications for not only our individual spiritualities, but also our society's response to immigration and Iraqis displaced by war. He says we -- as individuals and a nation -- should be asking why they want to leave their homes. Gumbleton has visited Iraq nine times, the last time in 2004.

Dear Fr. Don Walker: We have
Dear Fr. Don Walker:
We have not discontineud printing Bishop Gumbleton's homilies, but ... When Bishop Gumbleton was pastor at St. Leo's in Detroit and preaching there every weekend, we had a very good infrastructure to record the homily, transcribe it and get the audio and text files to NCR in a timely fashion. Now, the bishop is sort of an itinerant preacher and each week we have logistic and technical challenges to surmount. Sometimes we don't make it.

I was (am) disappointed in
I was (am) disappointed in not being able to find Bishop Gumbleton's homily in printed form. Did you discontinue the printed form? Or am I missing where it is printed? I hope you have not decided to put it out only in spoken form. - I do depend on the NCR for an objective report and some depth on crucial issues of our church and society. - Thanks for the service you provide. - (Fr.)Don Walker
