It seems to me that those on whom we can rely for comfort and strength in anxious times can include those who are in other faith communities than my own, as well as those who are not in any faith community. If I remember to pay attention, I can sense God's love through many people of faith and those without any faith, through whom God still speaks. All major religions support the idea of loving God and each other and humanists end up loving others while coming from a different theological perspective. I've always believed there is no limit to how and through whom God can speak, and for that I am grateful.
What a wonderful perspective, John! Thank you for the reminder that we can see God's love through many other people; we are not limited to those who share our own faith.
