ABSTRACT
There are those who ‘cross the Jordan’ and seek out truth through a different experience from the one they are born to, and theirs is the greatest struggle. To move from one cultural ethos into another, as I did, and emerge embracing them both demands more … than any armed struggle. For here is the real conflict by which we move into … maturity … Those who struggle through turbulent Jordan waters have gone beyond the glib definitions of politics and religion. The rest remain standing on either bank firing guns at one another. I had had enough of gunfire, the rhetoric of hate and redundant ideologies. 2
