| Roots
Few churchgoers know much about
their roots.
The long and complex history of the Church is
seldom paid
much attention. This series of essays
dips briefly into the past to identify some of the
roots which have supported
and fed the great tree which is the Church. But the primary aim of the
essays is to
examine the challenges which face the Church in the next millennium. The
central thesis
is that the Church has moved away in many respects from
the essence which it should derive from Jesus
of Nazareth.

Why
bother to ...?
Tony Windross takes
a look at Christian roots |
 |
|
Tony Windross is
Vicar of St Peter's, Sheringham, England. Here he briefly
revisits some Christian basics. Each piece started life as an
experimental leaflet to be left in St Peter's. They were aimed
at parishioners and visitors who might be questioning the roots
of their faith. The leaflets did not get universal approval.
Why bother to ...
1. ... think about religion?
2. ... go to church?
3. ... read the Bible?
4. ... take God seriously?
5. ... pray?
6. ... say the Creed?
7. ... think about evil? Tony
has written "A Thoughtful Guide to Faith" (O-Books, 2004)
in which he addresses many Christian doctrines in
the light of contemporary thought. "This
book was born out of frustration and embarrassment," he writes. The
result is a cracking good read. (Available at Amazon)
