It’s becoming increasing difficult in today’s world to trust anything or anybody, for good reason. There is little that’s stable, safe to lean on, trustworthy. We live in a world where everything is in flux, where everywhere we observe distrust, abandoned values, debunked creeds, people moving on from where they used to be, contradictory information, and dishonesty and lying seen as socially and morally acceptable. There is little left of trust in our world.

What does this call us to? We’re called to many things, but perhaps nothing more important than fidelity: to be honest and persevering in who we are and what we stand for.
