The Church English Dictionary by Wroe, Reith & Parke is largely a humourous look at Christian faith. However, it’s also sprinkled with some profound insights, like this one:
Contrary to popular teachings, the Christian idea is not about faith in a bunch of ‘doctrines’ dreamt up by early church daddies, but in the closeness of Jesus, in the goodness of people despite our badness, in the conviction that despite all the evidence to the contrary, at some point God will sit everyone down and say, “Look, I can explain everything.”
~ The Church English Dictionary by Martin Wroe, Adrian Reith & Simon Parke (Minstrel, 1991).
Christianity isn’t about doctrines, rules or rituals, though it’s often portrait this way in popular culture. It’s all about having a relationship with God that’s made possible by Jesus.
