Time and again, in every area of human endeavour, history shows it is but a few who, for good or ill, initiate momentous change. Thus evermore will it be. Thus too is it essential for mankind that good prevail.
We, in this time and of this age, are society’s custodian and its moral conscience. Hence, it is we, each one of us individually, who must embrace goodness—the embodiment of moral excellence—in behalf of our fellowman. In doing so we are not asking of ourselves anything that we would not otherwise aspire to: We are but living our life after that of Jesus of Nazareth by answering his moral imperative to “love thy neighbour as thyself.” Only thus may we foster *worldly brotherhood.

“…it is we, each one of us individually, who must embrace goodness…”
This rings true whether I’m with friends at Brahma Kumaris Meditation, Grace Presbyterian-Evening Grace, FCJ Christian Life Centre, or Christian Science Healing Service. The same may be said for my visits to the nursing home or at anytime where “two or more are gathered.” blw
