Snippet: Different Accents (Thrill Series)

Snip·pet | ˈsnipit | noun a small piece or brief extract.

Another snippet from The Thrill of Orthodoxy: Rediscovering the Adventure of Christian Faith by Trevin Wax.

“…we must not overlook the widespread unity Christians have around the essentials of orthodoxy. …the commonalities are so substantial that the last thing we should conclude when seeing Christians disagree is ‘we can never know the truth.’ That’s like saying there’s no way of really knowing English when the accents differ in Great Britain, Australia, Nigeria, Ghana, or various regions of the United States. A better response is astonishment at how, for two thousand years, through the messiness of history, the adventure of discovering orthodoxy, not inventing it, has brought Christians all over the world together.”
