Peter Laarman writes an intriguing article for Religion Dispatches concerned with the future sustainability of Christian faith as being one that doesn't cling to doctrine but is open to reinterpreting past teachings and bringing into our worldview new insights to edify and make relevant Christian spirituality in the present context.
Laarman's argument is that he predicts the Christianity of the future will be mostly comprised of those who haven't tenaciously latched onto dogma and creedal belief, instead opting for a faith guided by an ethic socially committed to liberating the oppressed, downtrodden, and poor in our communities and one maintaining an attitude of openness to truth and revelation wherever one may find it. And the people say . . . Amen!
