“[The]
vision of a desired future becomes a lure, it becomes a magnetic force that
draws us forward, even when the world around us seems to be falling apart. A
tradition without a vision of a desired future, a tradition without a vision
that makes us yearn for and dream for something even better, leaves us stuck in
the status quo. It feels like you found yourself in a parking lot with no
exit.”— American author, public theologian, speaker, and activist Rev. Brian
McLaren, quoted by Mary Lee Talbot, “Revelation Is Warning, Not Roadmap, Preaches Rev. Brian McLaren,” The Chautauquan Daily, Aug.
23-24, 2025
