  <default-description>There is a stirring among churchgoers. Many are looking at how the Christian faith is being played out, wondering if somehow we&amp;#8217;re missing the point. What if there is more to our faith than just getting our souls into heaven?

If we placed our beliefs and their origins under the microscope, what would we see?</default-description>
