"The Christian use of religion as a personal love affair both shocked me, and attracted me." ― Lionel Blue Topic(s): Freedom More From Lionel Blue "My mother was a modern woman with a limited interest in religion. When the sun set and the fast of the Day of Atonement ended, she shot from the synagogue like a rocket to dance the Charleston." "Praying privately in churches, I began to discover that heaven was my true home and also that it was here and now, woven into this life." "I feel that the Christian experience and the Jewish one have much to give each other. If this open society continues and there is no return to political anti-Semitism, then this encounter, deeper than any theology, may happen."
