Dear Friends:
My Special Item this week is my January column for the Anglican Journal, entitled "First Steps in Knowing God". It deals with faith and reason, religion and science, and I consider it timely.
The remaining material is new and hopefully helpful as well.

Good people of moral courage are called to
inaugurate a society of justice and righteousness
flowing for everyone.
- Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis

"As long as we keep dividing our lives between
events and people we would like to remember
and those we would rather forget, we cannot claim
the fullness of our beings as a gift of God to be
grateful for. Let's not be afraid to look at everything
that has brought us to where we are now and trust
that we will soon see in itthe guiding hand of a loving God."
- Henri Nouwen

Freedom is not a thing you can receive as a gift.
One can be free even under a dictatorship on one
simple condition, that is, if one struggles against it.
A man who thinks with his own mind and remains
uncorrupted is a free man. A man who struggles
for what he believes to be right is a free man.
You can live in the most democratic country in
the world, and if you are lazy, callous, servile,
you are not free, in spite of the absence of violence
and coercion, you are a slave.
- Ignazio Silone
--
I'm concerned about a better world. I'm concerned
about justice; I'm concerned about brotherhood; I'm
concerned about truth. And when one is concerned
about that, he can never advocate violence. For
through violence you may murder a murderer, but
you can't murder murder. Through violence you may
murder a liar, but you can't establish truth. Through
violence you may murder a hater, but you can't
murder hate through violence. Darkness cannot
put out darkness; only light can do that.
- Martin Luther King Jr.

CLOSING THOUGHT - Martin Luther King, Jr.
An individual has not begun to live until [they] can
rise above the narrow horizons of [their] particular
individualistic concerns to the broader concerns
of all humanity.
