more reading material...

Today i discovered a new blog, the bearable light. It contains the musings of Derek and Amy and I'm really enjoying some of their thoughts- especially the "who is your church" articles (1 2 3 4 5 6) which i hope to read this evening.

I'm enjoying Brian McLaren's book on Finding Faith at the mo. In the first chapter he highlights some qualities of good and bad faith, which i suspect will be really important for those of us seeking to engage with the world around us...

Bad Faith

1. Bad faith is based solely on unquestioned authority
2. Bad faith is based on pressure or coercion
3. Bad faith is often the result of a psychological need for belonging
4. Bad faith appeals to self-interest and base motives
5. Bad faith is arrogant and unteachable
6. Bad faith is dishonest
7. Bad faith is apathetic
8. Bad faith is a step backward

Good faith

1. Good faith is humnle, teachable and inquisitive
2. Good faith is grateful
3. Good faith is honest
4. Good faith is communal
5. Good faith is active
6. Good faith is tough
7. Good faith is relational

I hope i have good faith...
