Barbara’s Reviews > An Altar in the World: A Geography of Faith > Status Update

Barbara writes, "The body is a great focuser, whether the means is pain or pleasure. The​ body is a great reminder of where we came from and where we are going, on the one sacred journey that we all make whether we mean to or not."

"The exercise of reverence generally includes knowing your rank in the overall scheme of things."

"Human beings may separate things into as many piles as we wish - separating spirit from flesh, sacred from secular, church from world. But we should not be surprised when God does not recognize the distinctions we make between the two."
