Heaven on Earth

For Jesus, such teachings as

forgiveness,

healing,

and justice

are the clear evidence
of a shared life.

When we do not see this happening,

religion is
"all in the head."

Peacemaking,

forgiveness,

and reconciliation

are not
some kind of
ticket to heaven later.

They are the price
of peoplehood--

the signature
of heaven

--now.
