That which we cannot speak of is the one thing about whom and to whom we must never stop speaking.

Faith, then, is not a set of beliefs about the world. It is rather found in the loving embrace of the world. Because the actual existing church has reduced the Crucifixion and Resurrection to religious affirmations held by a certain tribe, rather than expressions of a type of life, the event they testify to has been almost completely eclipsed.

Truly embracing the fragility and tensions of life...brings with it the possibility of true joy.

Your job is to take notes, my job is to make that impossible.

Whatever you believe, be open to being wrong

What if one of the core elements of a radical Christianity lay in a demand that we betray it, while the ultimate act of affirming God required the forsaking of God? And what if fidelity to the Judeo-Christian scriptures demanded their renunciation? In short, what if the only way of finding faith involved betraying it with a kiss?

If you cannot speak your brokenness, your brokenness will speak for you.
