Are we able to change?
Is there a tendency, within the church, to revert to the Pharisee, to retreat into rules and constraints and the sanctuary of the few, the exclusive club, that cares more for law than the suffering of humanity?
Do we allow the practice of our religion to smother and obscure with rules and regulations and prejudices of the past that which should be simple and uplifting and liberating?
We must ask ourselves are we even hypocrites, actors who enact rituals and a certain religious theatre, who utter words of piety and devotion, yet do not take them to heart and demonstrate in our lives that they have made a true home there, that we have been changed inside as a result?
