FaithStyle facet one-liners

The different facets of your FaithStyle become visible where the 8 Points of Encounter (dimensions and relationships) and the 4 Faith Perspectives overlap, giving rise to 32 unique FaithStyle facets.

A facet is only one side of your many-sided FaithStyle, much like a cut gemstone. Each FaithStyle facet is a collection of your hopes and aspirations, thoughts and actions. The core quality of each FaithStyle facet directs your expectations and reasoning, reflections and behaviour. Each one describes what is typical of someone using that facet.
