(8,312 posts)... generally were relatively quiet about their faith unless they felt it immediately under threat, but lived by it -- their form of witnessing. I could see them walking the walk, not just talking the talk, and taking comfort in it in a way that made them better, kinder, more healthy people even when dealing with terrible things.
One couple I knew decided to go on a specialized mission trip where the purpose was not to convert, but simply to bear witness that Christians could live peacefully in the Maldives.
I'm not anything close to Christian (unless my almost complete agreement with the doctrine in Liberal Quakerism counts) but I was raised by a woman of true faith. Whether that makes her a "True Christian(tm)" I don't know, but I know her faith and how it helped her.
