At this point in my spiritual journey I am guided by Rabbi Brickner:

“If I am for myself, what am I? A well-reasoned faith is independently formed but not solipsistic. It does not isolate a person from humanity; it does not allow an individual to turn away from the needs of others. A well-reasoned faith does not pretend that all human beings are good or kind or honest.”

I being an ISTJ need to guard against solipticism!

“The politics of God, as unfashionable as it has always been, has never gone out of fashion. The remembered giants of religion – men such as Martin Luther , Sir Thomas More, Walter Rauschenbusch, John Haynes Holmes, Rabbi Stephen Wise and Martin Luther King, Jr – are remembered and admired precisely because of their willingness to speak their religious truth to those in political power so as to effect social change. They made a virtue out of seeking to implement for society the ethical demands of the prophets of Israel.”

“These men shared one common commitment: They preached and worked for a finer public morality without advocating some specific religion for all.”

“Herein lies the world of difference between them and many of our contemporary evangelists. Those clergy who pursued the elimination of social evil used the logic of their fith to influence , not to coerce or CONVERT.”
