William Sloane Coffin asserts, “faith is not believing without proof but trusting without reservation.” How is such trust built? Part of building trust is being honest and authentic with each other. That means sharing who I am, who you are, and where each of us desires to be headed. When we do this, we can trust the process of discerning who we can be together: where we share a common vision. Because that’s what inspires our commitment, and moves us to give.
