“Breaking promises is something most human beings have to do often, in order to remain true to the deeper underlying current of their lives and just as often, the lives of those to whom they made the promise: but it is not something we often do well.”
–David Whyte, Essentials, p. 44
Church of the Saviour lives out its call to the inward/outward journey together in different communities. Each has a distinct charism and style, but all share the tradition of deep commitment, listening for God’s leading, and servant ministry in the nation’s capital.

Quite a rarity on I/O, but I disagree with this quote. I imagine it was within context of some other way of understanding “breaking promises” but that isn’t provided. It seems very dangerous to say we NEED to let each other down all of the time and not let our words be meaningful.
Really? I must be missing the point.
