There are little lights everywhere.

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

I used to believe that the Church was the light of the world.

A beacon of hope to a lost and dying world.

I don’t believe that anymore, because I left the Church once. I slammed the door behind me and braced myself for the darkness. But when I stepped outside I saw light. I saw light everywhere like stars in a country sky.

I’m glad I no longer believe that the Church is the last hope for a world lost in darkness.

The Church can be so stingy with its light.
