@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’.

Copy of tweet here: @nick_routledge @uoedivinity and 2 others 2/ The 'status quo' of a totalizing, global, religio-political control-complex with no effective interest in reconciliatory reformation, implicitly requires rejecting co-evolutionary consciousness. The applied revelation of a planetary prophetology simply end-runs the power play.

@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.
