I've long liked what the Rev. Barbara Brown Taylor, an Episcopal priest, said nearly 20 years ago: "Having been brought up with a definition of faith as adherence to a set of beliefs, I have more and more begun to turn instead toward a definition of faith as openness to truth, whatever truth may turn out to be."[0] (emphasis added). I added somewhat later that "openness to truth goes hand in hand with trust in God. When we recite the Apostles' Creed or Nicene Creed, the very first thing we declare is our trust in God: 'We believe in one God ....' If we trust in God, we won't shrink from truth, whatever it may turn out to be."
