What the World Needs Now 1/5
What the world needs now is religious faith that supports our communal flourishing. Western, white individualism – including evangelical Christianity’s insistence on a “personal relationship with Jesus” as the pinnacle of spiritual experience – has contributed to the fragmentation of the human family. We have lost our sense that God’s dearest wish is for us to care for one another, to refrain from hurting one another, to regard each other with respect and dignity. Religious belief and practice that tears us from each other, sending us into our respective corners for private righteousness, is not the religious belief and practice that Jesus embodied and taught.
