faith

faith, hope and love, that is the challenge of the Bishop of Southwark to us all in the diocese. I spoke on faith yesterday and in an interactive discussion we agreed some things.
firstly faith is not experience , it is not tribal it is persoanl although it can be community. In the greek my wise boss said faith and trust are the same root and word. It is the absence of sureity, the begining of trust.
richard dawkins the famous athesit astounded his audience recently by admitting he was an agnostic. How had he moved? he hadnt he was just being honest, he could not prove God does not exist and therefore he cant be absolute. The scariest the lovliest points of faith are when you admit our sureity about God is equally unprovable in the scientific sense. It does not diminsh faith, rather it shows it to be what it is challenge
