Everyone must dig deep into their spiritual lives, and lend a helping hand to those who need it the most. Whether it’s simply having a conversation with a homeless person, donating money, or volunteering at a daycare for the destitute children, these charitable acts can make a huge difference in someone’s life. My service learning experience was an eye opener for me, and it made me realize how privileged and blessed I truly am.…

    “Karl Barth, the greatest Protestant thinker of the twentieth Century, visited the United States only once”. (Worthen, 15) (1) I found this an interesting opening sentence. Isn’t this based off author Worthen’s own bias? Granted, he was a huge influence on theology, but perhaps depending on the lens, might there not be others that were thought of as the “greatest”? Might not Albert Schweitzer for example, as a missionary and religious philosopher not be considered a great theological thinker as well?…
