Back in the 1900s there was a period of time that you could not safely stroll the streets of Manhattan for fear.
I’m not talking about the high profile cases that made the news. Those weren’t the things that scared me. Violence that had statistics meant there were people following and tracking those crimes and those criminals. Also, money was invested into researching ways to avoid becoming a statistic.
But for me, the real stories that didn’t make the big news, was people being hit in the head by a brick, or a random jumping in the park. A sudden suffering subjected to an innocent by a stranger. It could be someone mentally ill or high on drugs… Or teens daring each other. And it was a more common occurrence. (And by the way, that story could be repeated about what has become the "Baked Apple" of today.)
So, who can we put our faith into during times like those? Like these?
What is Faith? And that’s what we’re going to tackle today…
What comes to mind when you hear the word FAITH?
Can you have FAITH and TRADITION but not RELIGION?
Is FAITH-TRADITION the same as RELIGION?
Can you have FAITH but not a FAITH-TRADITION?
Does INTERFAITH cover all RELIGIONS or all FAITH possibilities?
