“There is also the Territory of historical
self-righteousness: if we had lived south of Ohio in 1830, we would not have owned slaves; if wehad
lived on the frontier, we would have killed no Indians, violated
no treaties, stolen no land. The probability is overwhelming that if we
had belonged to the generation we deplore, we too would have behaved
deplorably. The probability is overwhelming that we belong to a
generation that will be found by its successors to have behaved
deplorably. Not to know that is, again, to be in error and to neglect
essential work, and some of this work, as before, is work of the imagination. How can we imagine our
situation or our history if we think we are superior to it?” http://davidswanson.wordpress.com/tag/wendell-berry/
I am, maybe,
the ultimate Protestant, the man at the end of the Protestant road, for as I
have read the Gospels over the years, the belief has grown in me that Christ
did not come to found an organized religion but came instead to found an
unorganized one. He seems to have come to carry religion out of the
temple into the fields and sheep pastures, onto the roadsides and the banks of
rivers, into the houses of sinners and publicans, into the town and the
wilderness, toward the membership of all that is here. Well, you can read
and see what you think. Wendell Berry, Jayber Crow.
