Some people think that faith is dead

Interesting when people think religion is dead. Faith is alive in the Hispanic communities of New Mexico in the USA - among people of all ages. Pilgrimage here is something living.

This kind of living faith was also evident in the incredible rescue of the miners in Chile. The kind of get-your-hands dirty miracle that involved God, people's massive good will and technology all together. The Chilean miners and their families exhibited a kind of faith that has nothing to do with being 'moral' but about knowing we cannot stand alone, needing something greater than ourselves, having to hand over the things we just cannot handle to a higher power than ourselves.

Also, in New Mexico in Abiquiu, we stayed last month, in a yurt owned by people of faith, members of a Muslim community who work constantly to encourage dialogue between faith communities.
