I am a Congregationalist with Catholic sensibilities. Which probably explains how I ended up in a Episcopal church.

Christianity is not a set of beliefs or doctrines one believes in order to be a Christian, but rather Christianity is to have one's body shaped, one's habits determined, in such a way that the worship of God is unavoidable.

Civil religion is the attempt to empower religion, not for the good of religion, but for the creation of the citizen.

The church doesn’t have a social strategy, the church is a social strategy.

The church is constituted as a new people who have been gathered from the nations to remind the world that we are in fact one people. Gathering, therefore, is an eschatological act as it is the foretaste of the unity of the communion of the saints.

The basis for the ethics of the Sermon on the Mount is not what works, but rather who God is.

From my perspective, 'postmodernism' merely names an interesting set of developments in the social order that is based on the presumption that God does not matter.
