★ Hunger for Community (Urban Iona Part 4)
2008 November 22
Continuing the series of digging into Kurt Neilson’s book, Urban Iona.
From chapter 16:
Many of us, I most certainly, hunger for something fresh and new and challenging and not convenient, not accommodated to the culture of this or any other bygone day. I crave a faith and a community that is grateful for the past and seeks wisdom and inspiration there, but tries to walk with confidence into a future that is life-giving, that celebrates the best of the unfolding world and loves the men and women immersed in its struggles, who do not take refuge in fundamentalism or zealous nationalism or a futile grasping at certitudes but instead walk by faith and in hope.
