People pursue their relationship with God in various ways. I’m not bothered by this fact.
I am not bothered with it either and am not critical on this subject. I was just saying it’s not as widespread as the article implies. In fact, the farther along I go on my Christian walk, and the more repulsed I get with the world, the more a monastic life appeals to me. As I recall the monks were not totally isolated and performed many Charitable works in their community. Pretty good witnessing in my book.
