In a world where faith is often construed as a way of thinking, bodily practices remind the willing that faith is a way of life

As a general rule, I would say that human beings never behave more badly toward one another than when they believe they are protecting God.

I'm a follower of the Christ path, and that opens a huge discussion about what we even mean by words like "Christian."

The great wisdom traditions of the world all recognize that the main impediment to living a life of meaning is being self-absorbed.

Earth is so thick with divine possibility that it is a wonder we can walk anywhere without cracking our shins on altars.

To be fully human is perhaps why I'm Christian, because I see in the life of Jesus a way of being fully human.

No one longs for what he or she already has, and yet the accumulated insight of those wise about the spiritual life suggests that the reason so many of us cannot see the red X that marks the spot is because we are standing on it. The treasure we seek requires no lengthy expedition, no expensive equipment, no superior aptitude or special company. All we lack is the willingness to imagine that we already have everything we need. The only thing missing is our consent to be where we are.
