@David_DriedgerThe Being a Faithful Church process has been clear from the beginning that discernment is ongoing and that both the Bible and church have gone through periods where it re-affirmed, modified, and changed positions.

@David_DriedgerDespite the best of intentions these unattainable or otherworldly ideals become tools for the powers around us.

@David_Driedger
The people in power get grace and those on the fringes don’t.

@David_DriedgerWhen I start reading the Bible it starts with a mess and spirit hovering in the darkness.

@David_DriedgerIt seems like God was already re-designing in the Garden, does that mean the original design was to be open to re-designing?

@David_DriedgerThe Bible begins in the thick of things and we should take that seriously.

@David_DriedgerThere is an image of faithfulness that asks if we are to be the community willing to wade in the water; the community out on the sea not the ones on the shore who have too often been making waves for others.

@David_DriedgerWe learn that faithfulness is a discipline, a practice, a way of relating and maintain a space; it is not the protection of an otherworldly ideal.
