There is a grave danger in ritual familiarity with holy matters, even if you are not a professional. It is all too easy to go spiritually brain-dead when the prelude begins, to “say” prayers rather than pray them, to use the cadence of a confession as a rhythmic anesthetic, to mindlessly mouth the words of great hymns and gospel songs, to nod off during the sermon, to glibly mouth evangelical creeds – and then imagine that we’re really spiritual.

MARINADE

FINAL SAUCE
Cut the chicken and soak in the marinade for 15 minutes. Heat a wok and add
2 T of the oil.  Drain the marinade from the chicken and reserve. Brown the
chicken pieces well in the wok, then remove and set aside. Drain the oil
from the wok and discard.  Heat the wok again and add the remaining 2 T
oil.  Chow the garlic for a moment and add the onions and the dow see
mashed with the sherry.  Chow for a moment and add the green peppers.
Return the chicken to the wok along with the reserved marinade. Add the
ingredients for the final sauce. Stir well and cover. Simmer the dish until
the chicken is tender but not overcooked, about 20 minutes.
