Cowley Magazine - Credo
What does it mean to believe? This issue of Cowley magazine explores this timeless question though Scripture, spiritual practice, the Catechism, mystery, and the arts. However you experience and express your belief, one thing becomes clear: Faith and belief are verbs.
Selected Articles
“By inviting you to explore what it means to believe, it is our hope that you will be more “ready to make your defense to anyone who demands from you an account of the hope that is in you” (1 Peter 3:15).”
“Believing is an action we do, not a noun that we possess. As a verb, believing not only demands something from us, but also involves a relationship with someone else in whom we trust.”
“The whole of scripture is a gift from God. Though it can be daunting and challenging, engaging with the Old Testament as a wellspring of prayer can illumine truths about God, the Church, and ourselves, in ways we may never expect.”
“The Catechism provides a way into a prayerful and faithful pondering of and responding to ultimate questions in religious belief.”
“We have been given the gift of life, all of which we are invited to practice in God’s presence.”
“We invite you to plunge deeper into your own assumptions about what it means to believe. Use these questions to spur your reflection & prayer, or in conversation with others.”
I love this edition both the online and printed version. The printed version is easier for me to use in the morning or at bedtime for reflection – the topic of faith and belief are ones that I wrestle with frequently.
Also I enjoyed your thank-you letter and the enclosed packet of small inspirational cards. During these times of renewal and uncertainity, it is wonderful have these blessed reminders.
Thank you for all you do to support our faith and belief.
