Our American story is important.
We need to preserve it, and, tell this nation's history. Her story also.
For sure.
We're in the midst of an religious revival.
Religion seems to be everywhere in the public square.
We seem to be at ease with various expressions and faith traditions that the All-Faiths Festival has embraced for decades now in the metropolitan Detroit area.
Thousands of nondenominational churches are born each year, and, Buddhism has been accepted by native Americans in the past decades.
Still, there seems to be a void.
A big void.
A hole.
Even a vacuum.
Individuals and couples, even the married are looking again to seek God, fight fai, have fun, stay pure and endure without giving up in a culture of high technology and low touch and connecting with others.
Last Thursday evening, a handful of people took to the Hamtramck Historical Museum on Jos. Campau in that 2.2 square mile diverse town of more than 42 nations.
West Bloomfield Communications Director and historian, Greg Kowalski, and I spoke on family as the glue of society.
We recognize that transportation and technology, and, our worship of, and addiction to high-tech toys is bungling family life.
It is.
Quick fix.
Fear.
Blur of the real and false self.
Violence as normal.
And, living distanced and distracted lives.
Conditions of our time.
Pulling us apart.
How will we connect and commit again?
How?
