Fabulous podcast, really enjoyed the conversations and the challenges posed by each different point of view…food for thought and faith
Hi John. Fantastic podcast and thanks to your contributors. There was so much covered I feel you could breakdown and dig into elements of what the group touched on through more episodes.
Two immediate personal reflections.: The closer I feel I am to understanding God the further away I am likely to be, so I seek to embrace the mystery…God cannot be defined my the edges of my human mind.
On the topic of idols; a few years ago we were in Spain and Portugal. We visited many ancient churches with gilded virgins and tombs and saints galore. Many were dark and dusty. And yet the faith of generations felt like a living presence in these places, strange as they were, the closeness of God was very real for me in these places.
I enjoyed how it was expansive. It raised plenty of new questions for some listeners. It does feel to me as though we could follow up with more talking about what is theology. This podcast just scratched the surface. Thanks everyone.
I have only just got around to listening to this and I loved all the different perspectives. It also confirmed that what I sometimes think of heresy is actually just an alternative way of interpreting Gods presence and action on the world. Thank you all.
