In a discussion with Matthew Milliner this past weekend, he commented that he thought this post (possibly he meant the entire series) should be made available to everyone.
Thank you so much, Addison, for continuing to put out these thoughts. It’s remarkable in my older age how little of what interested and sustained my interest still works for me. How I find myself wanting that spiritual food more consistently in what I read. I definitely resonated with what you said about friends of different faiths—I too find myself able to strain out the differences and see where the truth of the gospel can obviously be found and this puts a stopper in my mouth to attempt some verbal evangelizing, affording me an opportunity for a little humility. Thank you again!
I lived in a version of this error for decades, albeit in a kind of benign, well intended, suburban, busy at work way. I wised up a few years back, and appreciate the corrective reinforcement.
