In my opinion, Christianity in a way that is not about rules or binding, but about a journey of faith and the experience of God.
“Spirituality” and “spiritual path” are not adequate to the task, but they are a starting place. They offer me the possibility to describe faith in terms of relationship with God and others; to answer the need inside each of us that presents itself more readily in questions than answers.
We live in a time that some call post-Christian. People have given up on legalistic, controlling religion. They have also begun to give up on the materialism and licence with which they replaced it, as they see that it does not meet their needs.
They flock to the “Body, Mind and Spirit” section of bookshops, and to talks on alternative practices because they are trying to find a way to feed their spiritual side. They are not flocking to the Church, because they do not see that we have anything to offer them.
I'm willing to change my presentation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to these individuals! At all costs, we can't let them get away! What about you?
Much love,
Joseph
