reimagine the role of faith

Rev Canon Steve Chalke says,
 “In the early years of the 16th century, German priest and scholar Martin Luther came to believe that the shape of the established Church and its relationship to the State did not fit the needs of the world in which he was called to live and serve.
“In the early years of the 21st century it is clear, once more, that the shape of the established Church and its relationship to the State no longer fits the needs of the world in which we are called to live and serve. It is time, once again, to reimagine the role of faith, Church and its place in the public square."
Really been enjoying the series chalke talks..the need to reimagine our faith,while further exploring its relevance to 2018 is critical to us Christians in this period.
but i find some not wanting to engage or move...either forward or to another faith based position.
it still in some circles.
you are going to hell
we are going to heaven

you are going to hell
we are going to heaven

Also real lack of desire to examine the bible
how why  was it written?
what been lost in translation?
why is God not seen as personal? 
how come the lessons we could learn are seen as or repellent to most modern day issues?
can l challenge God words?
do l have to believe simple because you say?
does inspired scripture include words lyrics lessons not contained in the bible?

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
