Two quotes from Jan Edmiston on TWOsday

Both quotes I'm sharing today are from Jan Edmiston, who wrote on her blog today about magical thinking, using this "comforting" picture of the Mayberry folks at church in 1965:

1. "Fun fact:  'Biblical Values' include visiting the imprisoned and feeding the poor and crossing boundaries and touching untouchables.  If we complain about politics in church but forget that Jesus was crucified for sedition, we need to find a new Bible study."
2. [Some people] "confuse being devoted to tradition with being devoted to God."
