Religion


"We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another." - Jonathan Swift

Religion is a powerful influence in the world, but often the power is negative. It has been used to judge, divide, separate, and control people; rob them of their freedom and creativity; and chain them to creeds and teachings that are not comprehensible. Unfortunately, religion has become dull and lifeless for many people, and God's love is missed. But the power of creative spirituality is always alive in God's world. It unites and frees people so they can be discovered in their individuality. Difference is accepted, choice is respected, and healing is perceived in our ability to love.

May I bring Your gift of spirituality to those who have misplaced it.
