Human
beings are settlers, but not in the pioneer sense. It is our human occupational hazard to settle
for little. We settle for purity and
piety when we are being invited to exquisite holiness. We settle for the fear-driven when love longs
to be our engine. We settle for a puny,
vindictive God when we are being nudged always closer to this wildly inclusive,
larger-than-any-life God. We allow our
sense of God to atrophy. We settle for
the illusion of separation when we are endlessly asked to enter into kinship
with all.

The Power of Radical Kinship
