We've asked Richard to stick his neck out and explore the big questions surrounding the future of ordained ministry in the face of major changes in church and society. His article in the recent Mary and Martha newsletter begins the subject. Come along and help take it further....
Richard Hawkins is the retired Bishop of Crediton |
What are some of the 'unanswered questions' of faith that lie beneath and beyond the 'unquestioned answers' of religion? What does 'faith' really mean, stripped of the accretions of creeds, doctrines and religious structures? What is at the heart of the matter when faith moves from 'belief' to 'trust'? Does God need to be rescued from religion? An evening to mull over some of the questions underneath the answers.
