Christianity is a lifestyle — a way of
being in the world that is simple,
non-violent, shared, and loving.
However, we made it into an
established “religion” (and all that
goes with that) and avoided the
lifestyle change itself. One could be
warlike, greedy, racist, selfish, and
vain in most of Christian history, and
still believe that Jesus is one’s
“personal Lord and Savior.”
The world has no time for such silliness
anymore. The suffering on Earth is too
great.
—Richard Rohr, adapted from CAC Foundation Set: Gospel Call to Compassionate Action and Contemplative Prayer
