Reflection for July 12

Faith lives in the human world by the grace of God, because of the love and loyalty of God, and in the presence of God, which is free, indifferent to our anxieties, to our categories, and, quite emphatically, I think, to our very negative judgments about the spiritual state of our neighbors (Marilynne Robinson, “Sacred inwardness,” Christian Century, July 8, 2015).
