Another thing which makes me cringe is ecumenism. Let's face it - everyone believes they are right and they have the "truth" - and no one is willing to compromise with the "truth" (although if something is true there is no compromise to be made). We'll just have to learn to live with each other - and respect each others beliefs or lack of. <BR/><BR/>Secularism is a destination - not an option. No matter how much people will resist it, they'll have to succumb to it.<BR/><BR/>The church can either adapt and find it's place as part of civil society in a secular society, or it can resist such changes and risk becoming an anachronism.Andrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04706450242483900385noreply@blogger.com
