I'm working my way through Brennan Manning's book The Signature of Jesus. I'm still chewing on a quote I read last evening: "The gift of my own faith in Jesus Christ does not depend or rely upon any power outside of my graced experience. When beliefs replace such actual experience, when we lose the authority of knowing and rely on the authority of books, institutions, or leaders, when we let religion interpose between us and the primary experience of Jesus as the Christ, we lose the reality religion itself describes as ultimate."
Intriguing stuff.
