Stanley Hauerwas Quote
Here’s a quote from Stanley Hauerwas that i found interesting in light of all the stuff we’re going through with Jayne’s mom…
“What I think Christianity is about, is always learning how to die early for the right reasons.”
“But I really believe, since I’m a Christian, that you always live in a world at risk. Indeed, what Christianity is about, is always learning how to die early for the right reasons. And Americans just – that’s a thought that is unthinkable right now. I think the American response to September 11th is exactly the other side of the Americans’ unbelievable support for crisis care medicine. They think that if we just get good enough at curing cancer, or good enough at doing something about people suffering heart attacks, or good enough with genetics today, then they’re going to get out of this life alive. It’s just not going to happen.”
