Those of us who remain in Christianity often do so because we believe that although rooted in a historical event and tradition the Christian faith is not a finished, static, mono-dementional ‘package’, but a living, fluid, changing, and diverse system and story, constantly in the process of deconstruction and reconstruction. We believe, against all odds and outward appearances, that it can be redeemed from oppressiveness, because from the beginning it has had some inbuilt resistance to what has been made of it and there have always been Christians even in the darkest of days who have picked up on this liberating strand.
