And I commend the processes the UUA is establishing to that end. However, the process of changing paradigms takes a long time. The children I know at Epiphany can't wait, nor can the millions of others of disadvantaged children. I do believe that sin exists. Sin exists every time a child goes hungry.
Sin exists every time a child is hurt, molested or forgotten.
Sin exists every time a child is denied a quality education. I challenge each and every one of us to consider what immediate, positive and active measures we can take today, tomorrow or next week that will make our world a better place. Avoid attraction to the fruits and attachment to inaction. Be intent on action. Not because it will build our resume.
