“This Christianity comes not from the head or the gut, but from the soul. It is as meek as it is quitely liberating. It does not seize the moment; it lets it be. It doesn’t seek worldly recongnition, or success, and it flees from power and wealth. It is the religion of unachievement. And it is the not afraid. In the anxious, crammed lives of our modern twittering souls, in the materialist obsessions we cling to for security in recession, in a world where sectarian extremism threatens to unleash mass destruction, this sheer Christianity, seeking truth without the expectation of resolution, simply living each day doing we can to fulfill God’s will, is more vial than ever. It may, in fact, be the only spiritual transformation that can in the end transcend the nagging emptiness of our late-captalist lives, or the cult of distracting contemporaneity, or the threat of apocalyptic war where Jesus once walked. You see the attempts to find this everywhere-from experimental spirituality to resurgent fundamentalism. Something inside is telling us we need radical spiritual change.” -Andrew Sullivan
