"We need a faith now that can help us face this world that we have made." Margaret Swedish
We need a faith that embraces the struggles and the suffering in life, not shys away from it. We need courage and the connection and support of community to go out and make a difference.
This is no small feat. It is much easier to shut the TV off, to hide in our comfortable spaces, to live in fear. The problem with this is that it won't make a difference in the world, it won't change anything.
We must believe we are the agents of change and we do make a difference.
