“There is no merit in accepting the faith of. . .”

“There is no merit in accepting the faith of one’s fathers passively. Faith cannot be a hand-me-down.

The religious, political, or social values reflected in any tradition must find new life in response to contemporary needs. This implies an active relationship to one’s beliefs.

What brings values alive is an attitude in the individual—a commitment, a readiness to act, a willingness to work for realization of the values. That is the heart of a living faith.

The way to show reverence for values is living faith. The way to show reverence for values is to act on them.”
