Your brief coverage of “religious” population and people being meaning-seeking creatures is worthy of more writing. My observations over several decades is that religion has been replaced by ‘cause’ in much of the population and that is why we see so many fervent ideologues. In my case, I would say religion was replaced with service.
Thanks Jen, you have put into words a lot of what I have been thinking and feeling. I do find on the whole that our leaders have been inept in communicating to the public...this in an age full of communications personnel but no common message...it becomes a din of mixed messaging and only the rage pushes through, and around we go again.
There have been some really good articles in the past, but this one hit home and caused me to hit “subscribe”. Looking forward to the future posts!
Great piece, Jen.

More than one person in Alberta has shared with me "In Alberta we show our appreciation by paying people well. We let our actions do the talking."
