The best thing for the Church is to stop pretending; to stop pretending that being a Christian is not difficult at times; to stop pretending that we have all of the answers; to stop pretending that we don’t doubt at times the very things we preach. It seems to me that once we stop the charade we have no choice but to express a more authentic version of what it means to be a Christian and inevitably presents a Christ is that real. That’s what’s missing in the Church: belief in a Christ who is real!
