My Credo (Nov 24 2003 14:56 GMT) - Yesterday I presented this to our young adult Sunday School class. We just completed a ten-week study on building your own theology. I believe in community. I believe that community transforms us, makes us better than what we are. I believe that god is in all and all is in god, that god is a lure toward the good in our lives, teasing us toward wholeness. |
