In Church, Mosque or Temple, which topics are deigned to remain inconsequential? Moltmann, no less, avers messianology a core derogation of all systems existentially beholden to endlessly postponing the judgment they announce. No matter. Nothing eclipses the Day of the Messiah.
2/ His invocation, democratic. Moltmann avers: "Theology is the business of all God’s people." Moses went further, of course: "Would to God that all the Lord’s people were Prophets." The hermaneutic of @unitethepoor, then? Inclusive, universal, planetary, prophetic, interruptive.
Thank you. If 'liberation theology is theology that liberates theology to liberate', then the interruptive ontology of an 'irruption of the poor' frees us from the containment of base, integral religious and political hegemony in a Day of universal, unifying liberation.
Ultimately, the Hour…

@Plough Truly, deeply, money isn't the core issue, rather the ultimate veracity of a Way of relating honestly that opens upon Life itself, contrary to a transactional thanatomania enfleshing a personal and corporate hell-realm of disassociation, alienation and inescapable Reckoning.

Soon enough, I grokked it. Within a decade, I was a houseless, wandering mendicant, testing wisdom teachings - a deliberate choice. Now, I'm another 25 years further in. Some insights, then. t.co/x4rB2KiPsC

Cultured, cosmopolitian, worldly and, by then, righteously dechurched, my deliberate surrender to life as a penniless, peripatetic mendicant almost 30 years ago, proceeded to expose me to modes of significance and order I could never have anticipated. t.co/fpKT24SNWy

At work, investigating financial fundamentals; at play, hanging with dear pals from business school whose sound business decisions were, as I recognized it, killing people. t.co/6jyTaURcfR
