For too many, though, spirituality is a VIP card allowing them to breeze past all those wretched souls waiting in line or doing the work. If the spirit moves you to goodness, that is wonderful. But for one who has an intuition of something greater than ourselves to hold that this is a purely personal truth, that it demands no communal searching and struggle, no organization to realize its potential in this world, straddles the line between narcissistic and solipsistic. No one expects those without faith to obligate themselves to a religious community. ( MORE: Rabbi Wolpe: Why I’m a One-Issue Voter) But it does mean testing yourself in the arena of others. Being religious does not mean you have to agree with all the positions and practices of your own group I don’t even hold with everything done in my own synagogue, and I’m the Rabbi. To know whether your actions are good, a window is a more effective tool than a mirror. If we have learned one thing about human nature, however, it is that people’s internal sense of goodness does not always match their behavior. To be spiritual but not religious confines your devotional life to feeling good. Institutions enable but they also frustrate, as do families and every other organized sector of human life. I have found too often that when people say, “I stay away from the synagogue - too much politics,” what they mean is that they did not get their way.

It involves individuals trying together to sort out priorities, to listen and learn from one another, to make a difference. There is something profoundly, well, spiritual about a committee meeting. ( MORE: Have We Evolved to Be Religious?)Īid organizations involve institutions as well, and bureaucracies, and - yes - committee meetings. Religions create aid organizations as Nicholas Kristof pointed out in a column in the New York Times two years ago: the largest U.S.-based international relief and development organization is not Save the Children or Care, it’s World Vision, a Seattle-based Christian group. The point is that if you want to do something lasting in this world, you will recall the wise words of French Catholic writer Charles Péguy: “Everything begins in mysticism and ends in politics.” Got a vision? Get a blueprint. If books were enough, why have universities? If guns enough, why have a military? If self-governance enough, let’s get rid of Washington.

They frustrate our desires by asking us to submit to the will of others.īut institutions are also the only mechanism human beings know to perpetuate ideologies and actions. Institutions can be slow, plodding, dictatorial they can both enable and shield wrongdoers. ( MORE: Empty Pews: Everyone Is Misreading the New Numbers of Religiously ‘Unaffiliated’)Īll of us can understand institutional disenchantment.

Yet as we approach Passover and Easter, it’s important to remember that it is institutions and not abstract feelings that tie a community together and lead to meaningful change.
Follow you like feeling good without having to act on your feeling? Boosting your self-esteem no matter your competence or behavior? Then I’ve got the religious program for you.Īccording to the latest Pew report, almost 1 in 5 Americans identify themselves as “spiritual but not religious.” In other words, they have some feeling, some intuition of something greater, but feel allergic to institutions.
