Something we came across recently that resonated for a lot of us.

"It is more important to follow the way of Jesus than to believe or disbelieve the traditional claims about him. Orthopraxis rather than orthodoxy

Three elements:

1. A resolution to love rather than to condemn.
2. An active pity for the wretched of the earth that worked to change their lot.
3. A mistrust of power and violence, both personal and institutional, and an active opposition to them.

This was the programme that got Jesus crucified."

Orthopraxis - Doing the right thing

Orthodoxy - believing the right thing.
