Peter Enns Quote
Rather than simply protecting the past, our faith communities have a sacred responsibility to protect the future by actively and intentionally creating a culture of trust in God, in order to deliver to our children and children’s children a viable faith— •a faith that remains open to the ever-moving Spirit and new possibilities, rather than chaining the Spirit to our past •a faith that welcomes opportunities to think critically and reflectively on how we think about God, the world, and our place in it, rather than resting at all costs on maintaining familiar certainties
