A thoughtful quote

I am still thinking but am also reading some good things these days and here is a brief quote from one of them. I suppose I like it because it hits something within me that has been wandering around in my heart like an orphan. This quote gives me some encouragement. It is from Karen Armstrong again: The Spiral Staircase.

We have seen too much religious certainty recently. Maybe this is a time for honest, searching doubt, repentance, and a yearning for holiness in a world that has lost its bearings. ...

Our task now is to mend our broken world; if religion cannot do that, it is worthless. And what our world needs now is not belief, not certainty, but compassionate action and practically expressed respect for the sacred value of all human beings, even our enemies.








More soon.
