Is there a Third Way?
“Is there a third way, a Christian way? It is my growing conviction that in Jesus the mystical and the revolutionary ways are not opposites, but two sides of the same human mode of transcendence. I am increasingly convinced that conversion is the individual equivalent of revolution. Therefore every real revolutionary is challenged to be a mystic at heart, and he who walks the mystical way is called to unmask the illusory quality of human society.”-Henri Nouwen, The Wounded Healer
(Reading Nouwen while living in Berkeley gave his words a whole new meaning)
