The words 'to serve', 'servant', have different connotations according to one's background. In traditional Christian culture to be 'servant of God' was and probably still is a highly valued ideal among Christian monks and nuns. The same is reflected in Islamic culture with birth names like Abdallah or Abdelrahim all meaning 'servant of God'. Jesus is named Aîssa in the Koran where he is blessed as a great prophet and teacher. He is the one who said: the kingdom is in you, not outside you. Maybe these words have yet to be rightly and widely understood and maybe the times are ripe for this to come about.
