Faith Practices
"Christian practices are not activities we do to make something spiritual happen in
our lives. Nor are they duties we undertake to be obedient to God. Rather, they are
patterns of communal action that create openings in our lives where the grace, mercy,
and presence of God may be made known to us. They are places where the power of
God is experienced. In the end, these are not ultimately our practices but forms of
participation in the practice of God."
--Craig Dykstra
"Faith is not a means to something else.
It is not something we do in order to get to heaven.
Faith is its own end.
To have faith is already to have come alive."
--Richard Rohr.
On this site, we offer some devotional practices but broaden them
so that they are not just things we do alone,
but are practices that, when shared, can tie us together in community.
God always calls us to be a People of God.
