Tragedy Is That Our Attention Centers On

The Loss Of Transcendence Has Left In Its Wake The Flotsam Of Distrustful, Cynical Christians, Angry At A Capricious God, And The Jetsam Of Smug Bibilolatrists Who Claim To Know Precisely What God Is Thinking And Exactly What He Plans To Do.

The Anything-goes Passiveness Of The Religious And Political Left Is Matched By The Preachy Moralism Of The Religious And Political Right. The Person Who Uncritically Embraces Any Party Line Is Guilty Of An Idolatrous Surrender Of Her Core Identity As Abba's Child. Neither Liberal Fairy Dust Nor Conservative Hardball Addresses Our Ragged Human Dignity.

Assured Of Your Salvation By The Unique Grace Of Our Lord Jesus Christ" Is The Heartbeat Of The Gospel, Joyful Liberation From Fear Of The Final Outcome, A Summons To Self-acceptance, And Freedom For A Life Of Compassion Toward Others.

Silent Solitude Makes True Speech Possible And Personal. If I Am Not In Touch With My Own Belovedness, Then I Cannot Touch The Sacredness Of Others. If I Am Estranged From Myself, I Am Likewise A Stranger To Others.

Jesus Hung Out With Ragamuffins.
