I Believe within the Church by Peter J Cullinane
Locates personal faith within the context of Christian community (Church), and relativizes the Church against the bigger picture of the incarnation, redemption and human destiny. It brings believing (faith) and beliefs together as one believer's personal story, and invites readers to trace the roots of their own personal faith. Discovering one's own story within this bigger picture leads to where all good catechesis, religious education, homilies and pastoral practices should lead, namely to wonder and amazement, deep reassurance and trust, thanksgiving, desire and delight. The story is told in the form of narrative and direct speech addressing God; it is told as a prayer and is illustrated in order to help us reflect as we pray. Peter J. Cullinane is Bishop of Palmerston North, New Zealand
Bishop Peter Cullinane has been Bishop of Palmerston North in New Zealand. As a bishop he has been fully immersed in the pastoral, sacramental and administrative work of a diocese. His concern for renewal comes out of that experience, out of closeness to the people, and out of working with bishops nationally and internationally for over 30 years. Bishop Peter was President of the New Zealand Catholic Bishops’ Conference between 1997 and 2003, and a member of the Episcopal Board of ICEL between 1983 and 2003. He has been awarded Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to the community.
