In Sunday’s Lectionary, the Joshua reading is about settling down in the new land. “The LORD said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away from you the disgrace of Egypt.”” … The idea of a national disgrace can be powerful, even dangerous.

If you overuse the word ‘disgrace’ you may run out of things to say when confronted by a real disgrace. The state of the European cheese market springs to mind.
