Adelaide seems to be in the midst of public conflicts of faith. 'Preaching to the Unconverted' - October edition.
We have the fervent, quite angry believers, quite confident in what God hates.
The people of faith who prefer to show their faith by actions in their own lives, however small.
And the totally apathetic and/or bemused mall shoppers.
Rev David Buxton a Frontier services leader related his experience in the mall at a recent worship service is Willunga.
He spoke about the contrasts of krishna's dancing and loud preachers who attempt to scare people into finding faith.
It seems there has been hurt in the community caused by the dogmatic style of christianity.
But look further Adelaide and be rewarded by multi-faith gatherings, Taize meditative music services, open mic sessions, mystic poets & retreats, creative workshops and inclusive options for all.
As always it is the squeaky wheel that gets the most attention.
The sacred and the profane, the heart and mind. There is always plenty to explore if you look around our Adelaide.
