One’s faith should be a place everyone except those who’ve committed the most grievance offense can have a role in it and/or prayed for. Although the traditions and habits of one’s faith might be different then another there should be a way 99.9 can participate or feel appreciated no matter if it’s just a few steps. Maybe the standard service is a bit too long, too predictable or too early for some that doesn’t mean we should give up hope and faith in having them participate in a different way toward the truth. For in a world where there is such pull against faith we need to have magnets to pull everyone in even if they look and feel quite different. Here a few questions you should ask yourself (below) about one’s faith if you believe in this concept?
(1) Does my participation in faithful prayer look to benefit the world or just my inner faith community?
(2) Outside of one’s assembly how does you’re faith expect you to react to the world around you in daily life?
(3) Do you have to continually isolate yourself from observing what’s around you or can you watch even if it’s from a distance?
(4) Is one’s faithful path only down places which observe ritual practices or can you step inside to observe or taste the world around you without violating your practices?
(5) Does your faith allow you to empathize with the good and bad times of others who might not share your exact route but are on a similar path toward faith?
(6) Does your faith reach out in someway to those less fortunate wherever they might be?
For in the end we are created by the one G-D who made us for many purposes but most significantly to find a way to love 99.9% (there are lines for G-D as well) even when that love seems quite different from the path we are on.
