We will be convening here at the ZigZag café, Suisse, on Thursdays for conversation and dialogue. I invite you to stop by every Thursday for the question of the day. Your thoughts and participation are most welcome. Pull up a stool, avec un café, un thé, ou un chocolat chaud, et un croissant, and join in here on Thursday at the ZZ café.
For today:
If we receive grace from God, why is this gift so infrequently passed on to others?
Reality is subjectively objective. This configuration corresponds to the way God made the world and humanity. That is, God, the other, and the world are objectively there, but our access to them is subjective. Subjectivity does not cancel out objectivity, or vice versa.
Reading the biblical text wisely opens us up to new possibilities for living in community with God, the other, and the world. Being read by it challenges our hearts and minds, shapes our characters and identities, and changes our spiritualities and lives. Take and read. Read and be taken.
Increasingly, we find ourselves in cultures that prioritize the visual over everything else; where images can, for better or worse, tend to dominate the landscape of life. Engaging the challenges of a proliferation of new ways of seeing and being may suggest that we have to reassess our understanding of God, text, self, other, imagination, and the world. That which has been assumed to be real, from an Enlightenment modernist or church perspective, calls for a careful re-exploration. Whether it be reason or faith enthroned, the unreal will lead us astray in attempting to displace Christ from his rightful place. If he is the image (eikon) of the invisible God, then what is real changes everything.
