Truth & Love

January 4, 2010

Just got done listening to Father Richard Rohr on the Homebrewed Christianity podcast (itunes link).

He said two of the greatest things I think I’ve ever heard..

The first isn’t original to him.

Truth is so needed at this point in history that it can only be entrusted to people of love.

The second is a direct quote.

I’m not trying to promote relativistic thinking; in fact, just the opposite.  I’m all for the journey toward truth, but too many people’s truth comes too soon, too quick, and it’s too filled with them.

I wonder if we can even conceive of an expression of Christian faith where Christ-like love and spiritual maturity are understood as basic prerequisites for the handling of truth?
