What is Religious Education

If
we really want change, “…it will not come on the whims of
inevitability”, but as Dr. King said, “It will come from the
tireless effort of committed individuals” like you and me. We must
be the change we want! If there is a God, I don’t think God looks
down and says, “Let there be light”. I believe IT sets a process in
motion and within that process organisms respond to stimulus that
pushes the cause and effect process forward. I submit that we must
respond to the stimulus—the call from society for justice, equity
and compassion in human relations; the call from society to
recognize the worth and dignity of all. These are not utopian
ideals. We can make good on these principles but we must all come to
see that the creative sustaining force will not do it for us. The
change we say we want will come when we use our hands, our minds,
our mouths, and our feet to toil and labor as long as it takes so
that “justice can roll down like waters and righteousness like an
ever-flowing stream.” |
