Reverend Gary Hastings on tolerance in religion

Rev Gary Hastings, Church of Ireland rector, ponders the notion of 'tolerance' in religion."In Ireland, most Christians respect each other, but interaction and dialogue are minimal and nothing may have really changed. Tolerance is not an ideal. It describes an in-between state which may go in any direction. In Northern Ireland, tolerance and respect veiled a mess of hatred, distrust and hurt that killed over 3,000 people. ... Faith is perverted too easily by power. Power does not love. Neither does tolerance and respect. They are a facet of power, in a complex relationship. Where tolerance stops is where power, the ego, feels threatened, and anger arises from fear.This results in war, and the idea of an acceptable level of violence, or of global warming or starvation. ... Love is the bridge. This is the goal of religious faith, the answer to the violence of ego sparking off ego. ... Tolerance and respect can produce a ceasefire. Only love and compassion bring peace."
