act of faith and / or / versus theory of faith

'..... when Jesus himself wanted to explain to his disciples what his forthcoming death was all about, he didn't give them a theory, he gave them a meal. ..... Of course, the earliest exponent of that meal (Paul, in 1 Corinthians) insists that it matters quite a lot that you understand what you are about as you come to share in it; but still it is the meal, not the understanding, that is the primary vehicle of meaning.'
N.T. Wright, 'The Cross and the Caricatures', Fulcrum, 23 April 2007.

The bishop of Durham (England), distinguished New Testament scholar, brilliantly spells out the discrepancy between the essence of faith and our human representation(s) and understanding of that faith.

Alas, so many of us imagine that the two are the same.

路上遇見的狗

貓朋狗友傳來這個>>連結<<
讓我認識這首歌:

聽歌

主唱:丁薇
作曲:丁薇
填詞:丁薇
編曲:丁薇.林朝陽


那一年回家路上遇見一條狗
哀求的雙眼看著我
他好像喜歡我要跟我一起走
我卻在猶豫
要不要這可憐蟲

走過了幾條街他還跟在後頭
我決定離開這隻狗
坐上車之前我愧疚的對他說
我有許多苦衷
你懂不懂

他也許不明白
還搖著尾巴討好
我還是轉身上了車沒回頭

我知道
他是多麼渴望我能帶他走
可是他不知道我和他一樣的貧窮
我沒辦法給他一個溫暖的窩
我有一雙手
卻沒有用

多年後我終於有了一點成就
也有了屬於我的狗
回想起那隻狗心裡還是難過
他會在哪條街上對著誰
哀求


不敢說這歌非常好聽,只懂說歌詞很有意思,叫人掩mon輕嘆。

它令我想起Robert Frost的The Road Not Taken。異詞,同工。

謝謝貓朋狗友。

跟進:柏林動物園的小白熊

有人從台灣做這個google search:『zoo berlin 小白熊』,搜尋結果竟然只有六大項,排頭位的竟然是:

北海. 尋道. 我愛丁堡:被遺棄的孩子,應該死掉?(expanded) (!!!!!)

第二項才是小白熊自己的網誌:Knut's Blog

其他四項,是完全無關的。

Knut's Blog很好看,就算完全不通德文,也可以看videos von Knut內那些紀錄小熊成長的>>>短片<<<。 適合愛護動物、有興趣思想動物權益問題、關心地球生態與北極熊命運的人觀看。
