Fortunately, for my religious education, I had a loving mother. When I messed up with Mom, I might feel guilty, but powerless to make things right. I was but a kid, with few resources. But my mother still loved me. She might correct me but it was for my betterment, not just to punish me. So, when I went to school and the sisters talked about a loving God, one who loved me even when I messed up and could not fix things, I had a comparison with my Mom. A lot of kids do not have this, so such an idea of God is but a myth.

I sincerely hope your mission thrives. The Church these days seems overly intent on preaching politics and battering its members with ultimatums and threats instead of focusing on the messages of love, forgiveness and daily sacrifice that convert followers from the inside out and are therefore more effective in the long run!
