                        It’s a thrilling time to be a believer and to so ground yourself in scripture and tradition that you are able to accept and be open to what other people are believing and where they are growing.

                        Frederica Mathewes-Green, author of Facing East: A Pilgrim's Journey into the Mysteries of Orthodoxy, discusses the spiritual practices of Orthodox Christianity.
                    
                
                
             
        
        
    
    
        
            
                
                
        
        
        
        
            
        
                
                    The Call to Follow Jesus Completely
                    
                        
                        When we ask the question of what it means to lead a spiritual life from a Christian perspective, there is no univocal opinion...But I am willing to give my opinion as one who wrestles with this question on a regular basis.

                    Faith from a Jewish Perspective
                    
                        
                        Faith, and by that I mean 
one’s ability to access the divine, does not 
seem to me to occupy the central 
place in Jewish spirituality that it 
does for Christianity. Sure faith is 
important, but acting, or 
pretending, like you have faith is not only more 
important but, 
fortunately, something over which most of us have at least some 
control.

                        Jewish spirituality is grounded in seeing God in the everyday, and living spiritually means making a difference in this world now.

That all started with Ram Dass.
