Re: Orthodox Assimilation on University Campuses
Do you suffer illness? Deepen your prayer life for if you truly commune with Him frequently, you will never feel lonely. Do you suffer injustice and rudeness from a beloved one? For the Lord is bringing you to a deeper humility and training you in the great good of patience and love.
Re: Orthodox Assimilation on University Campuses
But the blanket denigration of all that is outside the Orthodox community, together with the blanket denial that our history has always, in every way, been intertwined with that of the peoples among whom we lived, is largely, and increasingly, the attitude of Orthodoxy. One correspondent blamed 'the High Schools'.
High Schools cannot inoculate against the outside world. The best may try and teach critical thinking, gently teaching students how to evaluate choices, how to make choices, and how to deal with ideas. They introduce students to a range of ideas, some of which the school agrees with, and many that it doesn't. They teach that while our community's bedrock values and history - yes, many teach extensive courses in Jewish history are rooted in Torah and Jewish experience, there are also many wonderful things in the world.

You have multiple priests' numbers in your cell phone. You actually read the Bible in your spare time. You've slept overnight in your church for a retreat. You've grown accustomed to the taste of wine because you've had it since you were a baby.
