This site is not a front for a cult, a new religious movement, or an old religious movement. It is run by Anthony McCann, and while I was raised a Catholic, I now claim no religious affiliation whatsoever. I claim no special authority for inviting people to think about gentleness other than that I am a human being, and I believe it would be good if we all were to speak more openly about the possibilities for gentleness in our lives. I want gentleness to be important in my life. As a value, it helps me be more aware of, and more appreciative of the gentle people in my life. They are my teachers.
This site contains ideas that work for me. They may not work for you, and that's okay, but I invite you to give them a try. Work with them, work through them, test them out, break them down, build them up again in your own way. There is nothing finished or definitive on this site. You are not being asked to believe some radically new truth with which to restructure your life; much of what this site has to offer has been said in different ways for thousands of years. But I see no harm in restating what I and others have found helpful. If you find the ideas on this site helpful for making more sense of your life and your relationships, great! If you don't, I wish you well, and thanks for visiting.
