Unknown God<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When St Paul visited Athens in AD 51, he was
shocked to see a temple dedicated to an \u2018Unknown
God\u2019. This led him to berate the Athenians for their
ignorance in one of his most famous sermons. The
Athenians are said to have laughed. The Twelve Step
fellowships have an unknown God too \u2013 Higher
Power. They do not define its nature precisely; they
are glad simply to feel the power itself. Probably, the
Athenians felt the same. The AA preamble, read
before every meeting, states that: AA neither
endorses nor opposes any causes. There are no
dogmas or compulsions, we are free to believe what
we wish. Am I grateful for the non-directive
simplicity of the Twelve Step fellowships?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have found that God does not make too hard
terms with those who seek him. To us,
the realm of spirit is broad, roomy,
all-inclusive, never exclusive or forbidding to
those who earnestly seek. It is open, we
believe, to all men. Bill W.
Today I give thanks I belong to a fellowship that
does not exclude or forbid the beliefs of any person
who seeks help.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
