As we approach the spring religious holidays, Rev Susan Auchincloss discusses the role of language and ritual in propagating the true aims of our spirituality rather than further entrenching cultural prejudice. She advocates for real change, looking carefully at the spiritual practices that we profess in community—wanting to stay true to the tradition of peace rather than the tradition of prejudicial translations of texts.
