There is something beautiful in the words I discovered the other day.
"Theology is the Church on a mission reflecting on its message, its identity, its meaning."
That is to say theology is not the reason the Church does mission work, helping and serving people across the world, but rather mission is the reason people turn to theology; to wonder upon a God of love so powerful and yet so gentle. A God who cannot be understood, but who can be questioned and who sometimes answers.
I hope that is clear.
What do you make of these words?
