Religion does not really bring us to God, does it? And a religion really isn't the same thing as spirituality. Or better to say possessing spirit. Religious people can be the deadest souls in the world. We would do better to look for honesty than religious justification, to live sincerely in love than to worry about what any church says. But the way is narrow, and how many people have the courage to live in truth and love and say to hell with the rest of it. This is a very un-Catholic paragraph, but perfectly Quaker, perfectly Anglican, perfectly British. And I take a little pride in that.
