QUAERENTIA

I am often a bit rude about my conservative evangelical friends, so it is entirely appropriate that I am positive about them when they do good things. Mark Meynell is on the Staff at All Souls, and he read the Bible with me for a while at Oxford. His Blog is called QUAERENTIA which means seeking or searching. It is much more gentle and humble than lots of CE writing (in keeping with what I know about Mark), and I was sold when he wrote a post on architecture! He says this about his blog...
This is a blog by someone who trusts Jesus but is also often confused (and amused) by life - for i think they are not mutually exclusive! In fact, dare I say it, my trusting Him makes me more confused (or even amused) sometimes. But that’s OK - because i trust him! Life is about working that all through and seeing how trustworthy He is in the midst of it all - it’s just that sometimes it is harder work searching for answers and confidence than other times. That’s why this is called QUAERENTIA - a fairly unusual Latin word meaning seeking or searching. I’ve taken my cue from the theologian Anselm who spoke of “fides quaerens intellectum” meaning faith seeking understanding.
