Ignorance does not result from what we don't know, but from what we think we do know. Similarly, faith is not about what we know - despite the post-enlightenment suggestion to the contrary - but about trust in the presence of what we don't know.
A faithful person will never profess to have all of the answers, although certainly they will continue to ask the difficult questions. We need to be people who can balance knowing with not knowing. Both are needed today.
"Being willing not to know, because God knows, is a great gift." R. Rohr
