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.
Check out my other, rather more formal blog and find out why I took this photo of eagles this morning in central London. You'll find a several other shots and also a second posting relating to this event I attended. Read all about it on my "Chaplain's Call" blog and tell your chaplain friends and Anglophiles!

John is a colege lecturer and servant to the Church. Hearing the call to Christian discipleship, he received a baptism in the Holy Spirit during the Californian 'Jesus Movement' in 1972, where he lived in an intentional Christian community. Pained by the divisions in the Church, he is passionate about promoting understanding between all who love Christ. He serves fresh java on Sundays at his local parish church. He also an accredited free church chaplain and is a trustee for a penticostal ministers association, and is trying to complete a post-grad theological degree at St. Mary’s University College, Twickenham. John is married to Annette, who is a talented youth minister. They have five wonderful children and make their home in west London. "I thank God for all that we are and what He is making us. Those good things are due to the wonderful grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, who loves and keeps us. But I am so aware that this treasure is in earthen vessels. That is why it such a privilege to serve the Church and the world as together, we travel onward in faith's journey."
