Religion is rarely out of the news. But how much of it is simply "bad faith" for humanity and the planet? Simon Barrow reflects theologically on current events (and cultural blips) from an engaged Christian perspective. FaithInSociety seeks a conversation between reason and hope, shaped by the subversive memory of the Gospel.

TAKE HEART
"Courage is not the absence of despair; it is, rather, the capacity to move ahead in spite of despair." -- Rollo May
Everywhere I turn all I find are more injunctions to practise a spirituality of resistance. Unfortunately I sometimes think it rather resembles trench warfare - not a good image for pacifist, but then I suppose I'm not entirely. Anyway thanks for the encouragement to keep on plugging away at it all! Jane
