“The natural world around us shows the way to relief. All of life is maintained by the sun, by the air, by water, by the earth and its resources. And to whom was the sun given? To everyone.

“There is something new in the air. There is, there is a - a hunger for an open, non-dogmatic, form of Christian faith and practice, which adapts itself to a rapidly changing world; and speaks to that world the message of Jesus Christ. And a freedom to rediscover some of the language of the tradition now that's it's not handed down to us, you know, with a strict framework of doctrinal, fixed structures.” KnowsWorldChristianFormJesusSpeakLanguageChristPracticeAirMessagesJesus ChristTraditionStructureHungerFixedSomething NewStrictFrameworkChristian FaithDogmatic Author:Philip Clayton
