In my 70 years of life on this earth I have seen how relatives and friends have given up or relaxed their rigid worldviews. To some it’s because the have mellowed. To others it’s because they are no longer at home with the structures. To some others it’s because religion has been differentiated from spirituality. some of the young have simply become cynical although many have opted to be even more idealistic. Others prefer to go by their individual paths. A great number especially among the highly educated have chosen to take the sociological attitude of observing and not making any judgment.

Rabbi Belfour Brickner wrote: Faith is not a fixed phenomenon, not a body of answers, so much as it is a process, a constant refinement, a constant incorporation of new knowledge and new wisdom from many different sources.
