Our Age

Our age is known for violence. It has been marked by alienation.

It has spawned bureaucracy.

It has embraced cynicism.

Yet human beings yearn for alternatives;

they long to matter.

They hunger for a community of shared values reflecting the triumph of intelligence and the life of the spirit.
