Journey

Ongoing, overwhelming, taxing.
Twisting, turning, surprising.
Stopping, sitting relaxing.

A peak.
A vista.
A moment of clarity.

Continuing, climbing, perspiring.
Praying, praising, deciding.
Daring, doing, aspiring.

Spring

Encouraging, fragrant, warm.

New, unknown, refreshing.

Hopes, stirs, anticipates.

Today, tomorrow, the next.

For Faith to Flourish...

For faith to flourish it must engage in a vigorous conversation with its own past and with contemporary culture. It is about looking backwards and forwards. Christian faith must neither amount to simple repetition of past doctrinal formulations, nor a mere echoing of present attitudes, but must be a dialectic between the two. - Dave Tomlinson
