Finding our way again by Brian McLaren

I am going on with the Ancient Practices Series but no longer using Daddy's sermons but my own thoughts. His first thought which grabbed me was: "Those who reject religion are often rejecting a certain arid system of belief, or if not that, a set of trivial taboos or rules or rituals that have lost meaning for them --each the thin residue of a lost way of life."McLaren goes on that people say that they are searching for spirituality--something that fuses the sacred and the secular and it does not seem to be found in either the organized church or the science laboratory. "We need an everyday sacredness," says the author. Nor is it to be found in New Age or Fundamentalism. We may need to study again the ancient practices of faith.
