Week Nine Readings

Living Faith

A Lived Faith

"Any religion that professes to be concerned about the souls of men and is not concerned about the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them, and the social conditions that cripple them is a spiritually moribund religion awaiting burial." -MLK Jr.

"...politics is about people, and you can't separate people from their spiritual values." - Suu Kyi

"When hope comes as a gift, is is a gift we must choose to embrace. We must have the outrageous audacity to reject despair and choose hope. Hope allows us to go beyond our limits and project ourselves into an uncertain future where dream and desire have the force of memory. Thus one may say that the human being is defined by his or her hope."
