I must say that when I listed faith as one of the things that I wanted to discuss on this blog, that may have been an overstatement. My faith has been an area whose depths I have not plumbed in my own life in some time. I have felt tremendous uncertainty and ambiguity with regards to the form of my faith. The object of my faith has always been uncertain, but I have perhaps been disenchanted with the form and culture of evangelical Christianity for some time. This scared the crap out of me, so I refused to completely acknowledge or explore this, afraid of where it might lead.
Thankfully, I have just started reading "A New Kind of Christian", by Brian McLaren, a recovering evangelical himself. He spoke recently at a luncheon that I attended, during which he spoke of justice and its centrality to our faith. I was really moved by him. I am very moved by his book, a topic I will discuss further. It is a breath of fresh air right now.
