It is most unfortunate that, in the long history of the church, “faith” has been almost everywhere transubstantiated into “belief,” which transposes the concrete practicality of trust into a cognitive enterprise. How ludicrous that in the long, oppressive history of orthodoxy – which guards cognitive formulations – that those who enforce right belief seem most often to be themselves unable or unwilling to engage in deep trust.
