believe belong community form ought people spend terms thinking time voluntary
People ought to tithe because they belong to a community that they believe in and they want to see prosper. Tithing is a form of voluntary taxation. In our culture, we should spend more time thinking in communitarian terms about taxation.
difference divine god mean notion reject swimming talking term universe womb
I reject the notion of talking about God as a person, but there's a difference between talking about God as a person and talking about God as personal. The term I use is pantheistic - everything is in God and God is in everything. That's pretty intimate, but it doesn't mean that we don't have to find our own way and do our own creating. I see the universe as a Divine womb and we're all swimming around in this soup.
biology evolution fact further generation govern laws learned physics step taught terms understanding universe until
Our generation has been taught to think in terms of the evolution of the universe, but the fact is that physics didn't get into evolution until the 1960's - it was just this biology thing. Then we learned how the universe is evolving. Now we're going a step further and understanding that even the laws that govern the universe are evolving!
bored city extremely gay mean might obvious ontario similar small terms town whatever woman
Just because a middle-aged woman in a small Ontario town and a young gay man in a city have obvious differences doesn't mean they can't be extremely similar in terms of their existential lives, or in the way that they go about doing whatever it is they go about doing, be it sodomy or dusting, ... If you are bored with those activities, you may end up having similar reflections about them -- or they might be placeholders, or become obsessions.

physical requires role takes time
Any time I need to be really physical, and a role requires that, you're kind of viscerally activated by being that physical in it. It takes away the thought process, which is fun.
chief compassion creation essence figures great indeed justice links mohammed relationship spiritual struggle teaching yearning
Compassion is the essence of Jesus' teaching, and indeed of the teaching of all great spiritual figures from Mohammed to Isaiah, from Lao Tzu to Chief Seattle. Yet compassion has been sentimentalized and severed from its relationship to justice-making and celebration. Creation Spirituality links the struggle for justice with the yearning for mysticism.
age bold coming found generation half latter maybe meanings order question seek succeeded twentieth
My generation was bold enough to question many things and to seek spirituality over religion. We haven't succeeded in overthrowing the old order yet, and maybe there are some meanings to be found in my story about coming of age spiritually in the latter half of the twentieth century.

But, sooner or later I'd love to do a comedy. I mean I think that, you know, people don't think that that's in my wheelhouse because I've sort of played a lot of dramatic stuff and that's certainly a side of myself that I want at some point in the right context, in the right stuff, that I find really funny.

advanced altar anywhere bishops boy brother composed degree docile eager ending expelled good left life others receiving relatively scenario spiritual starting teaching western
Left to my own imagination, I could never have composed a scenario that was anywhere as interesting as my life has been: starting out as an eager altar boy, a good Boy Scout, a relatively docile Dominican brother and priest, receiving an advanced degree in spirituality, teaching bishops and many others around the world about our Western spiritual tradition, and then ending up being expelled from the Dominican order.
