Tell Us More About Your Faith:
Paleo-orthodox
,
traditional Christianity
,
with a thinking
,
questioning
,
and progressive mind. For me
,
it is a dual exercise in personal mysticism and spirituality
,
and corporate worship and liturgy...sometimes the two intermingle. I am finding that a relationship with God is something that has to be experienced
,
not mentally assented to
,
while also finding that tradition can be a useful anchor at times. You know
,
"O Thou who changest not
,
abide with me!" Often
,
I feel like I'm chasing God around a building and I turn the corner only to see God's shadow turn the next corner
,
never catching a direct glimpse of God. Perhaps it is meant to be so.
