Here is a quote from Henri Nouwen that I hope will generate some feedback and conversations. Please comment:
"Our compulsive, wordy, and mind-oriented world has a firm grip on us, and we need a very strong and persistent discipline not to be squeezed to death by it." (The Way of the Heart, 94)

BRILLIANT!!
so i come to this a month after its written. its a great quote man and the effect of it really hit me today in my christianity and culture class. we were talking about homosexuality and this kid just kept almost barking that you need to read scripture and keep on them....that doesnt work in this world so well anymore...people are sick of that. very few people had compassionate words or suggestions in the class and it was pretty frustrating.
