This
week's Blog By Rev.Tom Mc Neil
"I recommend for careful and thoughtful reading an essay in May 2008
Harper's Magazine, pages 35-42, by Wendell Berry,
"Faustian Economics: Hell hath no limits."
The focus is on our
attitude of "limitlessness"
in the
use of natural resources
that is derived from our sense of omniscience and omnipotence over
nature without any sense of responsibility or accountability.
In turn, as European scholars have indicated, our sense of ourselves
has become autistic as we've relied on an "autistic industrialism"
(p. 36). Mr. Berry observed, as an alternative:
"...
our identity is located not in the impulse of selfhood but in
deliberately maintained
connections"
(p. 38).
Well, interestingly, this is what the "Ten Commandments" are about;
and, Pope Benedict XVI said Saturday that the Church needs to focus
less on institutionalism and more on human relationships."
"What do you think of these statements
and how can we go about finding
focusing more on human
relationships?"
Fort King is starting a blog. Once a week
we’ll post our thoughts about what’s happening in our church family.
