There are lots of ways to think about faith – as a relationship, a journey, a set of beliefs or a way of life. Another way is to see it as a conversation -as being part of a conversation with and about God. Being a Christian means joining a 2,000 year old (and even older in some ways) conversation about how God is involved in our lives and in the life of his whole creation.
John’s gospel opens with the haunting words “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the word was God”, and through the life brought by the Word of God, we are able to join our words with The Word, and to join the conversation brought into being by God. It is Jesus, the Word of God, who makes it possible for us to know God and to speak about him, and we are all called to join in.
This new blog is a new way for us to be part of that conversation – 4 people from our six churches, each writing from a different perspective – will share their thoughts and reflections on faith, church and God. As they do so, anyone is invited to join in with a comment, response or further thought. Christians have been talking about how God is at work in our midst for 2,000 years now. Do join in.
