Faith: both adventure and holding fast
Might it be possible, sometimes at least, to combine
faith as adventure with faith as holding fast? The idea appears paradoxical,
but a traditional Christian response combines the two: Hold fast to your
companions and set out on the road. Companions faithful to one another,
adventuring for the sake of others – this was Jesus’ hope for the band he
called to travel with him. Through Galilee, Samaria, and Judea he was
accompanied by women and men in whom he hoped to find both steadfastness and
eagerness for the new.
