"The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members, a heart of grace, and a soul generated by love."
Coretta Scott King
When it comes to deciding on right and when it comes to assigning worth and dignity, the individual is not the final source of authority......what torture taught me is that, fascinating as I find my own life, it alone is a cloudy prism through which to view Creation absent references to the experience of others, the wisdom of community, the demands of tradition, and judgment of history, and the invitation of the Holy.
Rev. Dr. William E. Shulz
