Faith's Journey

True faith can never be a static belief in dogma. Rather, faith speaks of entering a relationship of trust and obedience with Divine Revelation; of being transformed by personal contact with that which is intangible; the unseen. Therefore, subjective feeling is not enough. The quest is to find the meeting place where subjective experience meets the objectivity of Truth. That is Faith's Journey; where all is summed up in the totality of Christ.

Personal Church Survey - Take Two!

After a term of studying Catholic theologian Avery Dulles at St. Mary's College, Twickenham, my results for the Church Survey (on which it is based) are somewhat different this time around. (I'll be honest: I'd not even heard of Dulles' book, "Models of the Church" when I posted my first survey results on this blog, 10th August 2005.) Is there some ecclesiological 'morphing' going on in my life, I wonder? No easy answer, as it represents a stage in my on-going journey of faith and devotion to Christ. Anyhow, here's the second time around results:

"You scored as Sacrament model. Your model of the church is Sacrament. The church is the effective sign of the revelation that is the person of Jesus Christ. Christians are transformed by Christ and then become a beacon of Christ wherever they go. This model has a remarkable capacity for integrating other models of the church. "

83%

Herald Model

67%

Mystical Communion Model
