While I was reading Subversive Orthodoxy this week, I encountered a definition of faith that was new to me. The definition was quoted from Northrop Frye. It goes like this:

An active faith is a continuous sequence of committed actions guided by a vision.

I like Northrop’s definition because it brings faith into something tangible and intentional. It also reminds me of the role of our imagination and it’s power to guide and shape us.
