(NOTE: There is, at best, dark irony embodied in this quote given it’s source was a slave-holder. The sentiment remains true however. It is only by confronting the complexity and truths and folly’s and tragic failings of the past that we are able to learn from it move forward from it and appropriately engage with it and with our Ancestors and their legacies.)

“It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows great enthusiasms, great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
– Theodore Roosevelt
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else, is the greatest accomplishment.” – Emerson

I agree. I am Hellenic in personal practice, also worship Jesus (yeah I know, odd… but when you’re called, you answer… lol), attend a United Church of Christ wherein I also preach and teach, and am an Interfaith Minister out of The New Seminary. I find that most of the Christians I have met over the past ten years have been largely ignorant of pagans in general, especially those of us who aren’t Wiccan in nature. This breeds fear. The other side of that coin, though, is that most of the pagans (and by that I mean all of ’em lumped together) seem to be just as ignorant of the Christians. I get REAL tired of that REAL fast, because so often those same pagans are the ones claiming to be tolerant and loving in all their dealings with the world. I’m tired of hearing the unspoken, “… except Christians…” tacked on the end of those sentences about love and peace.
Are there bad Christians out there? Yep, you bet. Met quite a few of them myself. Are there bad pagans out there? Oh good gods yes, and on a percentage basis I’d have to say there are WAY more bad pagans than there are bad Christians. I find that terrifically depressing. All that aside, there are also GOOD Christians and GOOD pagans. Some of us even inhabit the same body *grin*.
That’s why I am a supporter of Pagan Interfaith work, as well as more Pagan Intrafaith work…
