@CenteringPrayer A second Advent message? What we are now encountering is not the End of the World, but that confusing historical moment of evolutionary proportions when the way we see must end as another version of the world ensues. Michael Meade: “Welcome to the end of the world as we knew it.”

@CACRadicalGrace @RichardRohrOFM Perhaps let what we know of the character and will of Jesus as revealed in Scripture reshape our images of the the Parousia Event? “Only when the apocalyptic expectation of judgment is completely Christianized does it lose its terror and become a liberating hope.” - Moltmann

Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @Kairos_Center I love your term, ‘revolutionary hope’, and #JuergenMoltmann’s clarification: “The hope of the poor is nothing other than the messianic hope." Liberating hope. “The best is yet to come.” The Judgment is not the last thing of all. What is last and final is creation of a new world.Quoted by@Kairos_Center I love your term, ‘revolutionary hope’, and #JuergenMoltmann’s clarification: “The hope of the poor is nothing other than the messianic hope."
