　　MAKING MIRACLES: An Interview with Chaim Potok

　　by Dale Andrew White

　　A conversation with Philadelphia's own Chaim Potok, author of "The Chosen"

　　"We have questions of meaning, questions of value, questions of love, questions of terror. We are confronted with a situation and don't know how to plug in and make friends with it. Our fundamental response is to institutionalize. We build our own dreams. But if someone comes up with new dreams, he automatically meets resistance."

　　PLUS A BONUS SHORT STORY: "In Lieu of Flowers" by Dale Andrew White - The death of an elderly parishioner forever alters the life of a young clergyman
