Which isn’t to say, as some would have it, that to be Christian is to be indoctrinated, or brainwashed, or whatever other unhappy term might be employed as a descriptor, for the purpose of diminishing an entire faith tradition (which admittedly has been, and will continue to be, tarnished by the failings of many who would act in its name, but which itself is an expression of profound beauty and goodness), but that a Christian finds the fullness of their personhood not through the exercising of their volition for its own sake, or the sake of their pleasure (though at times pleasure might come to them, as a good in and of itself), but for the sake of God, whose will can be discerned, if not precisely known.
