What do we mean when we talk about “God”? Some kind of super being? Or perhaps even “the most” super being?
Or do we mean something beyond all that entirely? Listen in for Brendan’s take on “Meta-Theism”!
“In one of his many arresting statements, Jesus advised: “Truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.”
Jesus knew what he was talking about; such integrity led him to the cross.
It can also lead us to liberation.
Many dogmas, confessions and articles of faith have stifled creativity, preventing us from owning and embracing our experiences of the Divine.
They need to ‘fall into the earth’.
So too, do the commands, decrees and regulations that have blighted countless lives through centuries.
The culture of Christendom that still pervades Christian thinking needs to be buried.
It is time to die. That we might rise... and bear new fruit.”
