"Our love is embodied in our feelings, our touch, our passion, and our care. If spirituality loses touch with its roots in sexuality, it loses power to form and inform our deepest selves. When sexuality is separated from spiritual development, it becomes something we use to manipulate, control, and harm what we profess to love. When spirituality is separated from our sexuality, it loses the power of personal connection and becomes lifeless--it cannot moves us to passionate care for this world."
Lynn Rhodes, Co-Creating: A Feminist Vision of Ministry, pp. 64-65. Philadelphia: Westminster, 1987.
Ungkapan ini mengingatkan saya pada nyanyian Komunitas Taize:
Ubi caritas,
et amor,
ubi caritas
Deus ibi est.
Di mana ada cinta-kasih, di sana Allah ada.
