When Faith Builds Bridges
After a year in which religion was often a wedge used to divide, rather than a bridge to bring people together (especially during the long presidential election battle), many people are hungry for a different face of faith. Can religion be a force that unites, that brings people together?
Of course, in many places, and for many people, faith does exactly that. The front page of today's Washington Post tells the story of people of faith working across the traditional barricades on important issues (poverty being the most prominent) -- check out "Religious Right, Left Meet in Middle: Clergy Aim to Show That Faith Unifies." Another small sign of hope in our overly polarized religious landscape.
