[asa] MLK day

All:

This quotation was posted on another listserve. I thought it very
insightful and appropriate for remembering MLK this week.

Keith

"Softmindedness often invades religion. ... Softminded persons have
revised the Beautitudes to read "Blessed are the pure in ignorance:
for
they shall see God." This has led to a widespread belief that there is
a conflict between science and religion. But this is not true. There
may be a conflict between softminded religionists and toughminded
scientists, but not between science and religion. ... Science
investigates; religion interprets. Science gives humankind knowledge
which is power; religion gives humankind wisdom which is control.
Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly with values.
The
two are not rivals. They are complementary."

Strength to Love, 1963
