"I
don’t think the important thing is to be certain about answers nearly as much as
being serious about the questions.
When
we hold spiritual questions, we meet and reckon with our contradictions, with
our own dilemmas; and we invariably arrive at a turning point where we either
evade God or meet God. Mere answers close down the necessary struggle too
quickly, too glibly, and too easily.
. . . we are taught best at the
intersection of order and disorder . . . All real transformation of persons takes place
when we’re inside of such . . . space—with plenty of questions that are open
to God and grace and growth."
