The disciples are to be the salt and light of the world. If we refuse to be the salt and light of the earth, our faith can easily become vulgarized into harmless

chocolate images of Christ and religious scenes painted on dinner plates - the harmless artifacts of faith with all the backbone of a seedless grape. We can easily fall into

the trap of assimilating popular cultural values while retaining the semblance of Christian identity only in

vocabulary and ceremony. The Christians who have most deeply impressed us are generally not those who lead

crusades. It is the incidental assist at a roadside or supermarket that leaves a powerfully memorable witness. Like salt and light, our faith is most operative when it is

part of the everyday texture of our lives.
