Core Beliefs

And one more thought about the quote from Wednesday of last week.  

At first, when I read the quote, I thought, "YES! This is a defining characteristic of fundamentalism."

Then, as I thought more about it, I think all of us have core components of our faith.  In my mind, a belief in the divinity and humaneness of Christ, and the belief in God's grace are (to name a few) defining characteristics of my faith.  These I hold on to. 

We should think about this for ourselves. What defines your faith?  What is it that if you had to let go it, would either destroy or irrevocably change your faith?
