We should maintain that if an interpretation of any word in any religion leads to disharmony and does not positively further the welfare of the many, then such an interpretation is to be regarded as wrong; that is, against the will of God, or as the working of Satan or Mara.

Detroit: Worth a Look

The Christian Science Monitor recently posted an article entitled, "Retooling the Motor City: Can Detroit save itself?" as the latest in a series of such articles about Detroit. They document the possibilities (and hope) for turning around what is arguably America's worst urban disaster area. The articles are worth a look. What is doesn't have to stay the way it is. Amen.
