Lively response to the hard times

From the abstract of a thesis by Andrew P. Porter (2006 – Graduate Theological Union):

Radical faith meets exposure with confession, repentance, remorse, and joy. Faith meets limitation with innovation, initiative, grief and gratitude. Need is met by opening eyes, hands, and heart to one’s neighbor, ending in celebration and fellowship. In each case, what was initially seen as “bad,” unwelcome, is turned into something welcome, the source of new life.
