The Reason for Literacy

The Reason for Literacy:
To the Blessed Beauty

The reason for literacy
is the read the word of God.
Author Unknown

Literacy,
the capability of each individual
to read and write,
is a gift from God.

Through literacy,
we can read the Holy Scriptures
of every revealed religion
for ourselves.

Through comprehension,
we can come to a personal
understanding of the meaning,
and find
the unifying factors
in the revelations of God's will.
