Doctrine is not a cathedral, but rather a mud hut built on solid foundations.
Theology is notes, made in the margin of Scripture.
Paradoxically as it may seem, ministry is not about constructing a coherent belief system from sacred texts and presenting it to a congregation or the world. Instead, ministry is always firstly about divine action, in the past and in the present. We have our role, and it is important, but it is God who reveals himself. Our role is to correct ourselves and each other by pointing each other back to the source of grace.
