Parables represent a unique form of communication. Instead of merely attempting to change what we think they fundamentally seek to transform who we are.
An effective parable challenges the way we view the world, invites us to wrestle with its meaning and provokes us to respond.
Parables endeavour to close the gap between knowledge and action, reminding us that faith is not primarily about interpreting the world but rather with changing the world. Within the Christian tradition they bring us back to the incendiary idea that hope in the Resurrection means nothing other than participation in an Insurrection.
As such this FREE version of the ‘Insurrection’ app offers you a few short parables to reflect upon. A later version will follow, providing the user with a new parable every seven days over the course of forty weeks.
