A Spirituality of Imperfection (Ernest Kurtz & Katherine Ketcham)

A spirituality of imperfection suggests that spirituality’s first step involves facing self squarely, seeing one’s self as one is: mixed-up, paradoxical, incomplete, and imperfect. Flawedness is the first fact about human beings. And paradoxically, in that imperfect foundation we find no despair but joy. For it is only within the reality of our imperfection that we can find the peace and serenity we crave.
