Voice of the Day: T.S. Eliot
02-25-2009
Blessèd sister, holy mother, spirit of the fountain, spirit of the garden,
Suffer us not to mock ourselves with falsehood
Teach us to care and not to care
Teach us to sit still
Even among these rocks,
Our peace in His will
And even among these rocks
Sister, mother
And spirit of the river, spirit of the sea,
Suffer me not to be separated
And let my cry come unto Thee.
- T.S. Eliot,

Comment Code of Conduct
I will express myself with civility, courtesy, and respect for every member of the Sojourners online community, especially toward those with whom I disagree—even if I feel disrespected by them. (

I will express my disagreements with other community members' ideas without insulting, mocking, or slandering them personally. (

I will not exaggerate others' beliefs nor make unfounded prejudicial assumptions based on labels, categories, or stereotypes. I will always extend the benefit of the doubt. (

I will hold others accountable by clicking "report" on comments that violate these principles, based not on
what ideas are expressed but on
how they're expressed. (
