Catechism with a taste of
liberty |
|
During more than three years, at a rate of one monthly
meeting or so, we have found great interest and much pleasure
in trying to rethink and express in words of today the faith
that we have received. There were three of us: one woman and
two men. The adventure seemed a noble one. Yet, it was not so
easy to express one's faith in today's words and culture.
|
But we were urged to do this by the questions of the Internet
surfers: "It is impossible for me to believe like I did
yesterday. I cannot repeat ready-made phrases that mean nothing
to me anymore. How can I continue on believing?". |
Maurice Zundel, a theologian and mystic, once said: "Speaking
of God today in the words of the early days after Christ is to
be condemned to be misunderstood and to take the risk that God
appears to be a myth to be relegated to the antiques museum."
We thought it useful to publish in a book what we have
written each month on the site. We had to rewrite the texts,
to make introductions and restructure them.
We are now in the final stages of the work. It is an imperfect
work, incomplete but can encourage Christians to develop a taste
and a desire to do the same. They will not be deceived. |
