Worth A Deeper Look

During the homily the lady minister quoted Madeleine D'Engle:
“We draw people to Christ not by loudly discrediting what they believe, by telling them how wrong they are and how right we are, but by showing them a light that is so lovely that they want with all their hearts to know the source of it.”
I read Wrinkle in Time in sixth grade, focusing on the science fiction aspects of the novel; the good-vs-evil religious allusions escaped me, like much of what was going on in the Sixties.

Madeleine D'Engle sounds like "my kind" of Christian, i.e., the kind that minimizes preachiness and leads by example. She's worth a deeper look.
