The story of Mitch Albom, Pastor Henry Covington & Rabbi Albert Lewis.
In the beginning, there was a question. It became a last request.
"Will you do my eulogy?" And, as is often the case with faith, I thought
I was being asked a favor, when in fact I was being given one."
Mitch Albom
I didn't want to eulogize you. I was afraid.
I felt a congregant could never eulogize his leader.
But I realize now that thousands of congregants will eulogize you today, in
their car rides home, over the dinner table.
A eulogy is no more than a summation of memories, and we will never forget
you, because we cannot forget you, because we will miss you every day.
To imagine a world without you in it is to imagine a world with a little less
God in it, and yet , because God is not a diminishing resource,
I cannot believe that.
Mitch Albom
Watch how Rev Henry Covington (Laurence Fishburne) & Rabbi Albert Lewis (Martin Landau) profoundly affect writer Mitch Albom (Bradley Whitford).
This is a story about believing in something and the two very different men
who taught me how. It took a long time to write. It took me to churches
and synagogues, to the suburbs and the city, to the "us" versus "them" that
divides faith around the world.
And finally, it took me home, to a sanctuary filled with people, to a casket
made of pine, to a pulpit that was empty."
Mitch Albom
I am in love with hope.
