By Schubert Ogden
The Notebooks of Schubert Ogden
Just as being called to be a Christian is special in that it comes to only some human beings and not to all, so being called to be a human being is also special in coming not to all creatures but to only some.
In both cases, however, the special serves the completely general -- the well-being of the whole -- by serving the well-being of all the parts.
