The story of Jesus’ exorcism of the Gerasene demoniac lands us directly into the territory of the deep spiritual forces at work in our world, forces which operate on the personal level and that of whole communities, institutions, and nations, and which interact in complex ways between all these. It invites us to consider our own spiritual condition, the spirituality of the place or places to which we belong, and those people and places who may be demonised by us, our community and our society, and provokes us to turn ourselves around and, in a spirit of thankfulness, to drive all evil away.
