Grace doesn't depend on suffering to exist, but where there is suffering you will find grace in many facets and colors.
William P. YoungOnce you have hierarchy you need rules to protect and administer it, and then you need law and the enforcement of the rules, and you end up with some kind of chain of command or system of order that destroys relationship rather than promotes it. Hierarchy imposes laws and rules and you end up missing the wonder of relationship that we intended for you.

William P. YoungI really do believe that God is love, one of deep affection and grace and forgiveness and inspiration.
William P. YoungI make a distinction between true and real. I think that the story is true, it’s just not real. That’s what a parable is. It takes things that we all know are real, and it takes life events that actually happens, and it weaves them into a fiction that allows truth to actually be embedded.
