As I continue to think about religion and peace I realize that the obvious is true. The problem is not religion-any religion; instead the problem, the source of the pain in the world are misguided people and nations. What do we as individuals value? Is it money? Power? Sex? Something else? Is it purely and simply the the love of God and the grace to live in and share that love with the world. This is what I value at this point in my life. Last night I read this quote which captures the objective that I should strive for in the day to day.
We have before us the glorious opportunity to inject a new dimension of love into the veins of our civilization. This is the time for redemption, this is the time for reconciliation, this is the time to build the beloved community.
Dr. Martin Luther King
