Is our faith secure enough..
...to acknowledge our own weaknesses and frailty?
...to admit that we do not have all the answers?
...to explore, engage and dialogue with people of other faiths and traditions, in humility?
...to affirm the truth and validity in other people's beliefs, and to admit the wrongs and errors of our own?
...to listen and to accept the perspective of others?
...to believe and have faith, in the midst of paradoxes, differences and contradictions?

Hi bro! I just came back from Ravi Zacharias Ministry camp and the speaker John Dickson said this:
"If Christianity is uniquely true, its beauty will be best seen only when viewed amidst a full and fair account of the alternatives. Let me give you an analogy that comes to mind. Imagine yourself as an art curator who is convinced that one piece in his collection has an unequalled quality. What will you do? Will you dim the lights on the ‘competitors’ in the gallery and put the spotlights on your favourite piece. Of course not. That would be a sure sign you were not actually convinced about the special beauty of your treasured masterpiece. I mean, if you’ve got to obscure the other pieces in order to make your favourite one look good, something is clearly
wrong. A truly assured curator, that is, one with a deep confidence in the excellence of his prized item, would place all the gallery lights on full, confident that as careful art-lovers inspect the whole collection, viewing all the works in their best light, one painting, in particular, will draw people’s attention.
