But faith is not about believing, in some flat-footed passive sense, faith is always about doing. Faith without works is dead. Faith which is separate from action is not faith at all, it is something else. Faith is what leads us to conceive of an idea, a project, a reality that could be, and to step into the breach between what is and what is not yet. It is what leads us to act not knowing the outcome but determined to shape it come what may.... Faith is courage in motion. Outstanding essay, marron! beckett, thank you so much for bumping it to me. Will be mulling this over some more at my earliest opportunity.
