Textual Passage

Just want to pass on an excellent resource I've been tapping into lately:
Subverting Greed: Religious Perspectives on the Global Economy
edited by Paul Knitter & Chandra Muzaffar (Orbis Books 2002)
The chapters by David Roy, Ameer Ali & Sallie McFague are particularly brilliant. Here's a passage from McFague's chapter that I find myself returning to over and over again as I write my paper:

"While there is no direct connection between believing and acting, thinking and doing, there is an implicit, deeper, and more insidious one: the worldview that persuades us that it is natural and inevitable becomes the secret partner of our decisions and actions."

Efffff determinisms. They are antithetical to the Holy Spirit. Word.
