James W. Fowler quotes
-
“I believe faith is a human universal. We are endowed at birth with nascent capacities for faith. How these capacities are activated and grow depends to a large extent on how we are welcomed into the world and what kinds of environments we grow in. Faith is interactive and social; it requires community, language, ritual and nurture. Faith is also shaped by initiatives from beyond us and other people, initiatives of spirit or grace. How these latter initiatives are recognized and imaged, or unperceived and ignored, powerfully affects the shape of faith in our lives.”
-- James W. Fowler -
“Faith is an orientation of the total person, giving purpose and goal to one's hopes and strivings, thoughts and actions.”
-- James W. Fowler
