Quote for Reflection (Sunday, August 4, 2024)

“David determined who he was in a moment of exaltation. We need to determine ours in a moment of anxiety and pain because part of our confusion in this land is just that question: who are we, who am I individually, and who are we collectively?…We need to ask that question, particularly in times of national crisis such as we are in, because we are a people who have lost our way in the search for identity, unity and nationhood…[there is no] effort for us to look for the answers…because those questions lie deep in our psyche and the answers lie deep in our history as a people, and until we know who we are and accept it, we will never be able to determine where we are going.”

Bp Neville deSouza in
“Journey to the Promised Land.”
