Mission or Maintenance
People have not ceased to search for God. It’s just that they are no longer looking for Him in organised religion. They are
turning instead to Eastern Mysticisms, New Age Movements and the esoteric.
Why is it that the religious establishment is failing to provide spiritual satisfaction today? There are many answers. One is
that mysticism gives us an element of elegant escape from the world. They let us breathe the pure air of the soul instead of
the messy, complex world of communication, relationship and the public square.
Today Christianity finds itself in the position of being a minority in a world whose values we do not entirely share. History
suggests that is a good challenge for us. For religion is at its worst when it has power, and at its best when it wields
only influence. That influence comes from being ready and willing to challenge the idols of the age, whatever the idols,
whatever the age. The idols of today are unmistakeable: self-esteem without effort; fame without achievement; sex without
consequences; wealth without responsibility; pleasure without struggle and experience without commitment.
The great religions face an immense challenge but an inspiring one: to show that life is more than shopping; society more
than an arena of politics and power; that you don’t need worldly success to have dignity; that the spirit is sustained not by
a succession of pleasures that gradually fade but by wisdom that gradually grows; that love needs loyalty to be worthy of
its name. It is about being lifted by lifting others and being part of a community united by a vision of the common good:
sharing.
Religion can be an escape from the world or it can be an engagement with the world. The latter is messy, conflict ridden, full
of potential heartbreaks and, quite frankly, plain hard work. But that is what changes lives and gives history its dimension of
hope. And if that is unfashionable, so be it. The best things always are!
