Trinitarian Thoughts

I was thinking…

I do not worship literacy, language, doctrine, or my experience. I try my best to worship God, a loving, creative, and amaranthine Mystery, who truly can’t be named. I try my best to follow Jesus, the Anointed—who reveals God’s character as Love that pursues mercy and justice; who tells us to look to the poor and marginalized if we want to understand God and reality; who offers us a chance to pursue and encounter that holistic, godly love in the hopes that we might be tiny co-laborers with God in cosmic, terrestrial, and mundane acts of compassionate resurrection. And I try to live in the reality of the Spirit—that empowering, comforting, sustaining, transformative, and challenging Force that/who reminds me that breath, wind, dirt, and the sonic is sacred… The Spirit affirms—deeply—God is a Living God… not bound by ideology, books, churches, human constructions, and my own experience. In this sense, I don’t see Trinitarian theology as dogma or some ironclad proof to which I must kneel. I see it as a powerful spiritual and theological exercise against the forces of idolatry, theological stagnation, religious self-righteousness, corporate/personal arrogance, malice and injustice.

I’m still thinking….

Faith, Hope, & Love
