The decline of Christian faith in America and Europe is undeniable. Nevertheless, the Christian faith remains credible and the only hope of man. In this Logos Letter I begin making the case.
Benjamin, I very much like the idea of logos letter but not sure I can follow here. I also like the concept of path as living principle. But I would apply this for the "Supreme Being," too. Doesn't "He" or "Him" fall too short in describing such creative power? I like Hildegard of Bingen's description of "fiery life-force", "viriditas" etc. much more and her images seem to be able to speak more into our century and to religious skeptics than overly masculine God attributes do. Her summas still wait to be read by philosophers of religion :-) . Here is my humble attempt to introduce her to philosophy of religion: https://www.academia.edu/41587369/Hildegard_of_Bingen

What is your take on prayer?
I have four different family situations going on especially sickness and
Suffering of family members and I don’t see any power in praying as a Christian.
There seems like there is no power present against the forces of the world. Thanx
