The discourse of faith is the most vulnerable of all in the array of political, socio-economic and domestic institutions. It is the facade of faith that we cloak ourselves best with. Nothing is more conducive than it for being not what you are; rather a convenient channel to access the compliant. The fabric of faith varies from silken splendour of elite interpretation by the philosophical and academically eloquent to the polymer thread of compliant meaning with hope of peace and solace. Then there is the finest organic cotton thread of the most authentic explanation of what faith intrigues us with; available yet not reachable.
