Sister Wendy

I could listen to Sister Wendy all day and never grow tired.  Her lisp and buck teeth are so charmingly unselfconscious that not only do they not get in the way, they rather rivet my attention on what is being said.
To me, this is how a woman of faith speaks.  She comes from a place of deep integrity, without labels, without bias or preconceived notions that things must be a certain way and no other.  
Atheism and Fundamentalism are two sides of the same coin.  Does that shock you?  Well, both are based on a fear of God, a lopsided perception that distorts everything that follows from it.  It is not true.  And when religion is false, it is very dangerous, as we witness daily in the world and in our country.  As Jesus taught us, from the depths of His Truth:  "Beware the leaven of the pharisees."
So, just sit back and listen with a beginner's mind to what Sr. Wendy is saying here.  Her wisdom comes from a long life of prayer and contemplation.  Let us attend.
