I believe one of the most pervasive problems in contemporary American Christianity is that we mistakenly assume that information automatically translates into transformation. But knowing something is true does not in and of itself ensure that this truth will make a significant difference in our lives. Faith for contemporary American Christians is generally a belief about something, not an experience of anything. We need a way to make what we know in our minds real to our hearts.
"The spiritual life is first of all a life. It is not merely something to be known and studied, it is to be lived." Thomas Merton
