Ezra 10 - A proclamation was made

Reformers exhibit faith against all odds, but we recognise this more easily in hindsight. 

The bible has numerous accounts of "reformations", where followers of God either re-found truths of old or expanded into new truth. We mention a few examples before looking a bit more closely at Ezra. There is much to admire in this reformation story, but some details are troubling. Reformation seems to be needed in an ongoing or repeating manner, and it is challenging to consider the idea that we could be the odds against which valuable reformation might fight.
