Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime,
Therefore, we are saved by hope.
Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history;
Therefore, we are saved by faith.
Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone.
Therefore, we are saved by love.
No virtuous act is quite a virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as from our own;
Therefore, we are saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness.

Faith is not contrary to the usual ideas, something that turns out to be right or wrong, like a gambler's bet: it's an act,
an intention, a project, something that makes you, in leaping into the future, go so far, far, far ahead that you shoot clean
out of time and right into Eternity, which is not theend of time or a whole lot of time or unending time, but timelessness,
the old Eternal Now.

This is what I believe:
That I am I.
That my soul is a dark forest.
That my known self will never be more than a little clearing in the forest.
That gods, strange gods, come forth from the forest into the clearing of my known self, and then go back.
That I must have the courage to let them come and go.
That I will never let mankind put anything over me, but that I will try always to recognize and submit to the gods in me and
the gods in other men and women.
There is my creed.

Beth could not reason upon or explain the faith that gave her courage and patience to give up life, and cheerfully wait for
death. Like a confiding child, she asked no questions, but left everything to God and nature, Father and Mother of us all,
feeling sure that they, and they only, could teach and strengthen heart and spirit for this life and the life to come.

Faith as ultimate concern is an act of the total personality. It happens in the center of the personal life and includes all
its elements. Faith is the most centered act of the human mind. It is not a movement of a special section or a special
function of (our) total being. They all are united in the act of faith.

I have one life and one chance to make it count for something . . . I'm free to choose what that something is, and the
something I've chosen is my faith. Now, my faith goes beyond theology and religion and requires considerable work and effort.
My faith demands -- this is not optional -- my faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I am, whenever I can, for as
long as I can with whatever I have to try to make a difference.
