I think the human spirit has certain longings that all match up, despite the words they're dressed in. It seems like an impossible task to find this commonality when people are so easily offended or frightened by different expressions of faith. Despite that, I think I do a fairly good job, with my hospice patients and their families, at conveying the feeling of "all will be well, all manner of things will be well."
