Description

"The rituals of faith are worth bothering with", writes Stephen Mitchell, "in so far as they fire our imaginations and empower us to work through the human issues" which face us all. "Those of us who practise a faith must put the emphasis upon our communities and encourage ever wider co-operation and understanding. To this end, the rich variety of human faiths, literature and arts provide an abundant resource. And when the emphasis is put upon our common human endeavours, doctrinal concerns diminish and the practice of our faith becomes worthwhile and worshipful". In Stephen Mitchell's hands, faith becomes a hugely exciting business, challenging our ideas of God, self, history and reality itself.
