“I arrived at an understanding of faith that had far more to do with trust than with certainty. I trusted God to be God even if I could not say who God was for sure. I trusted God to sustain the world although I could not say for sure how that happened. I trusted God to hold me and those I loved, in life and in death, without giving me one shred of conclusive evidence that it was so. …This understanding had the welcome effect of changing faith from a noun to a verb for me.”
Barbara Brown Taylor, Leaving Church, p. 170
