Purpose

As we continue through the Sundays of Lent, we examine purpose this Sunday. What is the purpose of being a Christian in a time when people of faith seem to be coming in for more than their fair share of scorn? Tertulian said, "It must be believed because it is absurd." Susan Howatch said

“For the true radical is not the man who wants to root out the tares from the wheat so as to make the Church perfect: it is only too easy on these lines to reform the Church into a walled garden. The true radical is the man who continually subjects the Church … to the claims of God in the increasingly non-religious world which the Church exists to serve.¹
