Men and women with new questions about old issues and old questions about new issues are calling the churches to be more intent on spirituality and less intent on catechisms than ever before. These are the people who identify with the tradition more than they do with the institution. These are the people who are calling the Church to bring the best of the tradition to challenge the best of the institution. They do not question because they reject the Church. They question the Church because they love it. They question because they seek a spiritual life, with or without an institution, and even outside of it if being in it is what makes the spiritual life impossible for them.
