@jbralston @SST_Theology 4/ Ultimately, perhaps religious differences exist _precisely_ so that we may transcend them or, rather, they provide planetary culture with a critical bridge, a ‘greater assimilative space’ for the transcendent breaking-in of eternity into history. Diversity, our very salvation.

Quoted by@brianmclaren 23/ Diversity as an inter-spiritual power, then, and the emergent property of a long-anticipated, trans-cultural shift from world economy to ecumene - the birth not of a ‘united nation-states’ nor a world church or religion, but a ‘planetary ecology of symbiotic consciousness’.Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @MacrinaMagazine 2/ I’m wondering if the tension of contradiction, paradox, and difference are essential to birthing a novel capacity for love, reconciliation, peace. In the gap, a holy mystery of a greater, epiphenomenal, assimilative space where God enters us, where Love is ultimately invoked.Quoted by@MacrinaMagazine 2/ I’m wondering if the tension of contradiction, paradox, and difference are essential to birthing a novel capacity for love, reconciliation, peace.
