““There is no organized faith or denomination which has any kind of monopoly on truth. Ultimate truth does not reside in the minds or in the realm of imperfect and finite human beings. For this reason many resist institutionalized religions with their doctrinal creeds and rules of order. This is particularly true of many young people today who believe that religion is nothing more than living a good life, and seeking fulfillment through one’s individual, subjective experience. However, such faith leaves one with no objective norm beyond the convictions of individual conscience, and therefore each individual becomes the ultimate norm and the object of faith. Healthy religion transcends all human attempts to organize faith into credal formulations, but it does not make self the ultimate norm. On the contrary, it seeks a Transcendent ground for its being and believing, while humbly recognizing that human understanding of ultimate reality will always be limited and imperfect. Christianity is no better than any other great religion when one considers its “track record” in history, but it is distinct in its insistence that the only perfect revelation of truth that humanity will ever receive was made available through Jesus Christ.””
