A middle way?
I am uncomfortable with arid secularism and life as production and
consumption, but while the intensity and longing for the infinite which
characterises the best of fundamentalism is attractive, its brittle and
genrally ruthless exclusion of otherness and "deviance" is a price I am
unwilling to pay. I long for a synthesis somwhere in the middle - a
secularized tolerant spirituality, which acknowleges the divine hand in
the affairs of men and women, and a spiritualised and arrational
secularism which does not commodify Life and its bountiful gifts.
Perhaps one of the closest aproximations I've encountered of this
synthesis has been the More To Life programme.
