I was googling "Lenten Journey" the other day. A long-stanidng tradition to use the 6 pre-spring, pre-Easter, weeks to ask who am I? what are my roots for daily living? how do I nourish my spirit, what makes me me? How is my "me" connected to other "me"s? Anyways, in my internet wandering I came across a great line:
Going to Church makes you a Christian about as much as sleeping in a garage makes you a car.
Got me thinking. What does make a person Christian? Does it matter? Is "Christian" a principle? a "compass"? a lens for seeing the world?
I thought (ok, hoped) others might be pondering similar questions and would join in an online discussion.
When I saw the topics for the upcoming 'Rebooting Faith' series (see announcements page on the 'site), I thought: hey here's fuel for exactly this kind of discussion! Faith: the Way of the Heart.
It's a place to start. What is faith? Is it something you have, or something you do? Is there "one answer" that is "faith-full" or are there many -- like refracted light through a prism?
Now it's your turn. This is an interactive blog. Join the discussion. Blog on, friend, my companion(s) on this journey!
