Remembering

     If memory is kept alive in order to cultivate old hatreds and
     resentments, it is likely to culminate in vengeance, and in a
     repetition of violence. But if memory is kept alive in order to
     transcend hateful emotions, then remembering can be a healing.

     The content of faith, for us, is not opposed to,

     exclusive of, other faiths.
