There Is No Messing Around With God

The Goodness Ideal

January 30 is yet another anniversary of the assassination of Indian pacifist leader Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948). In a world marked by violence, it is always good to remember the victorious example of the Mahatma (“great soul”) who...
