"Being religious is actualizing your convictions."
Herman Adrian Spruit, ~1979.
"Accept that thrust of [God's] love and you too will find the holy. Listen to yourself deep down within you and you'll discover the Heart of all True Religion."
from Letters from the Apostles
"Those who shared in the process of putting together our church wanted a motto for us. Following my convictions and the desires of the people, I selected this: Let there be Harmony through understanding, unity, togetherness, and fellowship."
The Will to Progress: The Key to Our Tomorrows. Prism, August 1981
"The real worth of a church is not so much the vitality of its philosophy, not in the challenge of its program, but in the way in which it enriches the lives of its people."
"Religion in the Individual is best characterized by the attitude of reverence before an unknown Power which transcends reason." ( in Adjusting to the Space Age, 1969)
Happy Easter!!
"Whatever is considered proper for the conduct of one person affects all people for good or evil. And from this, the true Monotheist is forced to conclude that what is good for all is good for the individual. This is what is meant by the Brotherhood of Mankind that a great religion will preach, proclaim, defend and uphold. And this Brotherhood of Mankind is attained ... in peace and understanding." (sic.... today we would use the word Humankind.)
Let there Be Peace in the Church. (no date)
"The belief in one God (Monotheism) realizes that the whole human race must be regarded as one family, different as may be the colors of the skin, the language with whch they express themselves, of the manner of their daily lives."
