“Ancient worship . . . does truth. All one has to do is to study the ancient liturgies to see that liturgies clearly do truth by their order and in their substance. This is why so many young people today are now adding ancient elements to their worship. . . . This recovery of ancient practices is not the mere restoration of ritual but a deep, profound, and passionate engagement with truth—truth that forms and shapes the spiritual life into a Christlikeness that issues forth in the call to a godly and holy life and into a deep commitment to justice and to the needs of the poor.” PeopleNeedsDoeTodaySpiritualFormYoungOrderJusticePoorPracticeStudyIssuesHolyShapesElementsWorshipCommitmentMereProfoundAncientPassionateRecoverySubstanceRitualEngagementSpiritual LifeGodlyRestorationLiturgyHoly LifeChristlikeness Author:Robert E.

“So here we have found a means of a) alienating even the most flexible and patient Palestinians; while b) frustrating the efforts of the more principled and compromising Israelis; while c) empowering and financing some of the creepiest forces in American and Israeli society; and d) heaping ordure on our own secular founding documents.

Compassion means that if I see my friend and my enemy in equal need, I shall help them both equally.
