"...Great post Yvonne<br /><br />I particularly love this<br /><br />"I believe that the religious life is a shared spiritual journey towards greater communion with the cosmos, where Spirit descends into matter rather than escaping from it – but this communion does not involve the effacement of individuality; rather it is the celebration of diversity and the quest for authenticity, because the "divine" (the vision of ultimate worth) is the potentiality of all life to share in mystical communion. But we must expand our compassion to all beings, not just to those whose values we share, and we do this by engaging in social action – caring for the poor and the oppressed, protecting the environment, standing up for human rights, and promoting freedom, peace and justice."RevDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13569349958868233578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633184610062276774.post-30010897386012465102011-07-14T06:58:41.075-07:002011-07-14T06:58:41.075-07:00Wonderful post, Danny.

I wrote a <a href="http://stroppyrabbit.blogspot.com/2010/07/what-is-liberal-religion.html" rel="nofollow">blogpost about spirituality and religion</a> a while back, which was partly in response to someone who disliked "organised religion".Yewtreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02028699564003381058noreply@blogger.com
