Fundamentalists make sure we see the EXIT signs, while poets, philosophers, and mystics are always pointing us toward the ENTRANCE signs. Heaven, sayeth the preacher of fear, is someplace else—anyplace else—and this world is best gotten out of, not moved more deeply into. How odd then, that the ministry of Jesus was such a brief but intense walk-about, knee deep in the sacredness of the ordinary.
