Dogma and Deeds

David Tracy
There's a nice little newspaper column on deeds over dogma here. The writer, Yme Woensdregt, is an Anglican clergyperson, but hey, nobody is perfect.
Catholic theologian David Tracy reminds us that disputing about doctrines is "not the key to religion." Rather, the essence of Christian faith is how we live it out... Tracy adds that doctrines just "emerge when you need to clarify something if the community is confused."
Amen.

    doctrines just "emerge when you need to clarify something if the community is confused."

    OTOH, confusion in the "community" is caused by not knowing the community's doctrine.
