Great article. Thank you. What bothers me is that the Evangelicals have hijacked the term "Christian" where there are many people who call themselves Episcopalian, Methodist, Quaker, Catholic, who have better more moderated ideas about these things. The National Cathedral is a good outfit to look for guidance for true Christianity - and I have seen Bishop Budde speak. The Evangelicals have hijacked a message and the media along with it - they don't have the history or the knowledge to speak with Authority. I know I am mincing words - but words matter. Your article was refreshing and helpful. For years I was an atheist and then a true believer in communism, then found the writings of wise teachers and moved away from that. But some of them said that Communism filled the gap of a Lack of religion and God - a god in a godless age. The Progressives think they know everything - and although their heart is in the right place - they get too dogmatic, self righteous, and the country tunes out their voices. My life was turned around by a group of black men where I worked who truly believed in the message of God. They turned me around, got me on a good path, helped me remember my worth....this was down south in Manufacturing - and I was in Leadership. What a profound, positive, Noble mystery they were, along the lines of what Martin Luther King taught - Character matters. I know that group helped me profoundly. So life Is mysterious, your article was spot on, and I have been worried about the same myself. Thank you Teacher.
