There are some Rules ,guideposts around faith and my beliefs , that as grow older
things I take as sacred ,vital,correct,important.
Questioned further valued but keep returning to this....
If they didn't make sense in someone else's culture.
The youth culture
Northern working class culture
Poverished mining or fishing community
Then it not making sense
So I had to often strip back all those values,virtues,guidelines ,rituals ,keep adjusting my faith .
Asking myself in prayer and with others ,just what what is required of my beliefs to account for all young people,unchurched folk, poor suffering,stressed people , not just in those cultures community but others everywhere.
It has to work under a tree in Yorkshire, on beach, in rain and cold on a street corner in bleak northern town.
That's always the working out l process.
