America is a land in which sometimes it seems that there are
few moral heroes, a country lacking men and women who in-
spire others to walk in righteous paths. Even saying this
sounds dated. That is how much has been lost in this country.
Where may one turn for moral example? These are times, sad
to say, when many Americans bestow their admiration not on
the quiet exemplars who labor patiently attending to matters of
the soul, but on those who attain material success, those who
command the attention of the media. Glitz and glitter are the
order of the day.
Once religion could be counted on to produce exemplars
whose deeds filled others with hope and inspiration, people who
caused the spirits of others to soar and, by example, invited
emulation. In some places on earth that still can happen. In
South Africa, Archbishop Desmond M. Tutu stood as a tower of
strength against apartheid. In East Germany, a few Protestant
ministers provided much of the moral resistance in the late
1980s for the revolt that finally led to the collapse of a totalitar-
ian regime. And even in Romania it was ultimately the pastor
of a provincial church who became an unlikely hero in the over-
throw of a hated dictator.
