Let me try a radically Christian approach.

Attract others because we seem to be an indefatigably buoyant people in contrast to the tenor of the secular world.

We may not get "our way" in this or that, but it doesn't matter, we have Jesus Christ as a dear and present friend.

We suffer cheerfully, work tirelessly serving others, growing all the time, because loving like this grows virtues by the hundreds!

We don't spend time or energy or make noise claiming this or that 'right", instead, we seek to serve in every minute of the day, taking up the Cross that Jesus told us about, daily, self-emptying. Kenosis. 

We don't overblow situations.  We don't play the victim.    

We live the happy Cross, because we're very very close to Him. 

We're constantly "dealing with" Him as we go about solving problems for others. 

How's that?

Isn't that a bit of a different sense for what a Christian should be than what one gets from reading NCR (articles or comments) week after week?
