And in the beatitudes - the poor, the powerless, the grieving, the broken-hearted - not the rich and powerful and uncaring - these are the blessed, the recipients of God's grace. These themes, these reverbrate ugh all of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation. “Do justice, love, kindness, walk humbly with God. To do these things. to work for these things, is to live faithfully. God says this is what is good and this is what is required of us.” . . : | used the term ‘religion’ in a negative sense, in contrast to faithfulness - to what is required of us - because religion is so often understood to be a system of belief and practice period. Practice, meaning here rites, rituals, forms of worship that are devoid of faithful justice, kindn and humility. Karl Marx is often quoted saying that religion is the opiate of the people. Would that it were so. It is religion of that sort among Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs and whomever that has engendered I hatred, viol & PP over the centuries. But from the beginning of God's call to the human race has been one of justice, kindness, and humility - a call to right relationships, past, present ‘and future. That is what true religion is supposed to be about; that is what the kingdom of God is all about. If only this could ‘be understood in Northern Ireland, Middle East, in the Balkan States and in all our hearts and homes. But somehow, century after century, we seem to miss the message and religion settles for so-called right to belief and right to pfactice. We just do not get it. What then does this mean to be faithful, to be true to the call to do justice, to love kintiness, to walk humbly? To do justice is to take our social responsibility seriously. It means examining our actions, attitudes and values by a measuring standard of not only what is good for me, my life, my family, my city or province or country, but what is good for all creation and for all humanity, because God cares for all creation. There is no question that it is harder for us who live in the global village, and suffer from acute information overload, to face these issues than when we were isolated by distance, time and ignorance. But we must try. "ro love kindness refers plainly and simply to our personal behavior: how we treat one another; the stranger as well as the friend; the land, air “and water and the other creatures of this earth. < We must learn to walk humbly, to accept ourselves and each other as creatures, not as gods; and to relax, thereby trustingin the wisdom that is God. ‘And let us work, hope and pray for this symposium and others like #t, tor all those whose efforts are bent toward peace. For “Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called children of God.” LEADERS oo
