“But it is daily tasks, daily acts of love and worship that serve to remind us that the religion is not strictly an intellectual pursuit, and these days it is easy to lose sight of that as, like our society itself, churches are becoming more politicized and polarized. Christian faith is a way of life, not an impregnable fortress made up of ideas; not a philosophy; not a grocery list of beliefs.” WayMadeIdeasPhilosophyChristianBeliefEasyLosesChurchBecomingWorshipIntellectualTasksSightListsPursuitThese DaysOur SocietyGroceriesBecoming MoreChristian FaithActs Of LoveFortressesDaily TasksGrocery Lists Author:Kathleen Norris
“The Christian religion asks us to put our trust not in ideas, and certainly not in ideologies, but in a God Who was vulnerable enough to become human and die, and Who desires to be present to us in our ordinary circumstances.” HumansIdeasEnoughChristianDesireDiesAsksCircumstancesOrdinaryIdeologyVulnerable Author:Kathleen Norris
“We shortchange ourselves by regarding religious faith as a matter of intellectual assent. This is a modern aberration; the traditional Christian view is far more holistic, regarding faith as a whole-body experience. Sometimes it is, as W.H. Auden described it, 'a matter of choosing what is difficult all one's days as if it were easy.” IfsSometimesMatterWholeBodyChristianEasyDifficultReligiousViewsModernIntellectualTraditionalReligious FaithHolisticAberrationAuden Author:Kathleen Norris
