Sharon Autenrieth writes on her “Civil Religion” column in the St. Louis Post Dispatch that she basically failed in her attempt to give up the television, the car radio and Facebook. But she’s going to try again:
“…Sabbath observance should not be an exercise in negation. The artists behind Sabbath Manifesto seem to understand this, and their Ten Principles are largely positive suggestions.
“I know that I’m going to have to grapple with my technological habits at some point – probably sooner rather than later. I’m not waving a flag and storming the Bastille, just suggesting that having 24 hours a week when I am fully present would…probably…be…good. And difficult, at least in the beginning. So with the full awareness that I sound like a hypocrite, I recommend checking out Sabbath Manifesto’s website and videos.”
