Peace does not come rolling in on the wheels of inevitability. We can't just wish for peace. We have to will it, fight for it, suffer for it, demand it from our governments as if peace were God's most cherished hope for humanity, as indeed it is.
— William Sloane Coffin in Credo
Relationships are the central web of our lives. The strands connect us to family, intimates, partners, friends, as well as communities, natural places, and the wider world. The character and quality of our spiritual lives are measured by these essential bonds. Our relationship with the Divine is reflected by and expressed in our other relationships.
Strong relationships emerge from and support civility – respect, courtesy, consideration of others, politeness, good manners, basic kindness. All of the world's religions and wisdom traditions offer us models of civility that draw out the best in us as we relate to others.
