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 and selectively 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 briefly examine some of the 
challenges which face the Church in the next millennium.

 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 "The 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)
