"The church which pitches its tents without constantly looking out for new horizons, which does not continually strike camp, is being untrue to its calling... [We must] play down our longing for certainty, accept what is risky, live by improvisation and experiment."
- Hans Kung

M Toy emailed me today to ask some good questions about this post. which leads me to comment to my own post: i presuppose Hans here is referring to God-revealed new horizons, rather than an insatiable quest for "shiny" new-ness and The Next New Thing. I was thinking abrahamic rather than pee wee's playhouse.
