Without me realizing it, friendship has become a central theme within many of my posts here. I’m not sure why that surprises me…maybe because I like to think of myself as someone devoid of sentimentality and therapeutic mush, but that doesn’t exactly explain my surprise or fascination with such a serious and beautiful word. Anyway, for better or worse, I am enjoying the ride so far and the vastness of human/divine friendship. Andy Crouch from Culture Making reminded me of this today:
“All meaningful knowledge is for the sake of action, and all meaningful action is for the sake of friendship.”
—John MacMurray, The Self as Agent (1957)
