Status Updates From Who Needs God

Finished Chap 7. Can Modern People Pray
Had to laugh when Kushner reminds us that God is not Santa Claus. Prayer is the practice of being in the presence of God and requires us to listen as well as speaking.

Finished Chap 6. Guilt, "sin" and forgiveness. Wonderful discussion.

Finished Chap 4. More die of loneliness. His message is needed more than ever!

Chap 2: Eyes with which to see the world
Chap 4: What Makes Things Wrong?

I have to mull over each chapter as I read and go back and read each psalm that he refers to as examples of his message.

I picked this up from the library after a year of watching dwindling numbers of attendees at my parish. Kushner muses in the intro if we have become to intellectual & modern to make room for organized religion. Have we lost our souls in the process of gaining personal freedom & material comfort. Has science become the new altar upon which we worship. And this was written in 1989!
