“While we may be accustomed to raising questions in other areas of life, we are inclined to fear disturbance in matters of faith. We fear questions that lead us down roads we have not traveled before. We fear disruption in our thinking, believing and living that might come from nquiring too deeply into God and God’s purposes. We fear that if we do not find answers to our questions, we will be left in utter despair. As a result of these fears, we imprison our faith, . . . rather than releasing it to seek deeper understanding. Only trust in the perfect love of God is able to overcome our persistent fears (1 John 4:18).”

From Daniel L. Migliore, Faith Seeking Understanding

It used to be that one could walk into any Episcopal church in the country on a Sunday morning and feel like he/she could just feel right at home, in the presence of God and not be distracted. That is no longer the case and it’s saddening.

I don’t know how the Episcopal church still allows you to be affiliated with them. Do you even say the Nicene creed every Sunday? Or is that too offensive also?

I am not ashamed of the Gospel, are you?
