Recent decisions by the Church of England House of Bishops regarding the Living in Love and Faith process, allied to the failure of 'my' parish's Parochial Church Council to support the prayers of blessing in Prayers of Love and Faith on the odd ground that they are discriminatory - yes really!, has led me to consider my position as a member of the Church.
I appreciate the language of the Book of Common Prayer and choral evensong in much the same way one might be enthused by drama or operatic performances. The message might not convince, the performance sublime. I shall continue to attend services as spectator rather than participant.
Readers of this blog know I do not like to use labels to describe my theological thinking. No one label fits the bill for me. My current thinking is a fluid mixture or mosaic of inter alia postmodern, Quaker, humanist, existential, progressive christian, liberal christian, liberation and deconstructivist concepts. It is not based on certainty, not on blind belief. It is like the sand of the desert, ever moving, restless.
