It argues that God’s grace is richer than simple approaches, forming a dynamic unity that resists reduction to narrow categories. The article contrasts a child’s impoverished simplicity with an adult’s capacity to engage complex reality without illusion.

title isthere to convey the gist of the article and this one wants to do so withconciseness.While it succeeds in brevity it could fail by introducing afalse perspective into the sequence of ideas that follow—a danger tobe prevented from the beginning.  \nBalance in ordinary English has several meanings.It may mean anequilibrium between opposing forces that lock each other mutually inimmobility;I am not using the word in this sense.It may mean alsoharmony in action of various thrusts;this is the sense I give to it.  \nBalance in Renewal in this article means the harmony of ideas andactions that have to inspire and carry the movement of renewal inreligious life.The message of the article is that the grace of God,thegrace of renewal in this case,is richer than our simple ways.It iscomposed of many gifts,all of them dynamic,forming a unity.Weare invited to see it in its complexity.If we project our simple mindinto it,we become victims of illusion.We are invited to search for thewhole truth in it.If we mistake one aspect of the truth for the wholeour mistake one day will crush us.If partial vision is translated intoaction an accident is likely to happen.  \nIt requires a grown up person to perceive and to be in touch witha complex and complicated reality.A child is simple and he transfershis internal simplicity into the outside world.He reduces a mysteriousuniverse into simple categories that he can comprehend.This type ofsimplicity is an impoverishment of mind;there should be no praise forit.A mature person has the strength and security to approach the worldwith expectation;he has the humility to take it as it is.An adult personis able to perceive a complex reality without reducing it to simple cate-gories.When an adult person enters into a relationship with truth andfacts he is able to move the world since he is in touch with it.  \nThe incipient Kingdom of God in which we live is God's gift;hebegins here and now to share his life with us.Such a gift is difficultfor us to comprehend and still more difficult to put ","cbCaisp1XPqd9suI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisp1XPqd9suI","pdf",2909210,76,"English","# Balance in Renewal\n## Title as Compromise and
