Quote of the day

With the approach of Passion week, where there is so much violence on display in churches I thought this reflection from a non-violent perspective is quite challenging:

“If God is commonly understood to be angry and vengeful, to appreciate human suffering and sacrifice, to have desired the death of God’s own son as payback for human error, then humanity will not only tolerate violence, we will perceive a genuine need for it in order to be in relationship with God”.
