About ...  

This site is a project of: The Society of the Sacred Mission St Antony's Priory,  74 Claypath, Durham DH1 1QT, England.

 

What the site tries to do Observing that the word radical derives from the Latin radix for "root", the author Scott Peck writes: "... to be radical is to get down to the root of things, penetrating their essence and not being distracted by superficialities". There is a large gap between academic and popular theology. The former assumes considerable background knowledge. The latter often provides a poor diet to those hungry for something more substantial. Thinking about Christianity inevitably involves a degree of technical detail which many find off-putting. Radical Faith attempts to step back from the technical trees to take in the wider forest of faith. In short, it tries in an amateur way to narrow the gap between theology and the ordinary Christian. As Don Cupitt says: ... truth in philosophy, religion and morality is public and easy to find. It is for everybody ... we must give up the idea that in these areas we should look up to any special and exalted Mouthpiece of Truth.

 

The Radical Faith website is maintained by Michael Maasdorp, a member of the Society.
