Spiritual Need. An A.L.C. committee investigating glossolalia last year warned that it has led to "divisions and tensions" in many congregations; tongues advocates often tend to slight regular worship services, force the practice on doubters, and develop into an ecstatic spiritual elite.

He is the voice of all whose worship goes to no Creator but to Creation itself. When he came to write his will, Rilke included a lyrical conundrum in which life and death became one in the symbol of the rose, whose loveliness contains nothing...
