August 19, 2017 by Jim Leave a Comment

Since the events of August 11 and 12 in Charlottesville, I’ve continued to ponder my own sense of things. My thinking is evolving and I want to say more about what is surfacing for me. [Read more…]

Notes:

  • “To love someone is not first of all to do things for them, but to reveal to them their beauty and value, to say to them through our attitude: ‘You are beautiful. You are important. I trust you. You can trust yourself.’ We all know well that we can do things for others and in the process crush them, making them feel that they are incapable of doing things by themselves. To love someone is to reveal to them their capacities for life, the light that is shining in them.” – Jean Vanier, founder of the L’Arche communities

In this conversation, Jim and Trisha consider the impact of how we read the bible on how we love. It is possible for people who are committed to the authority of the Scriptures to reach different conclusions on important social issues? And, when that happens, how do they relate to one another? How do you love another person who reads the Bible really differently than you do?

“I believe that Jesus says in multiple, unequivocal ways that love is the supreme value. I believe It is more important than theology . . . more important than preference or tradition . . . more important than politics . . . more important than race or culture or context. It’s more important than anything.

Yet across the country, congregations are divided and dividing because they have differing views of politics, of same-sex-marriage, of immigration reform, of black-lives-matter, and of so many other things. By their actions many congregations are saying that it is more important to be right (often based on their personal interpretation of the Bible) than it is to stay in loving relationships where disagreements – even sharp ones – exist.” (From my Facebook Post)

How can we experience the deep change needed to increase our capacity to love? Spiritual formation.

  1. Spiritual formation is a human process
  2. In spiritual formation you get say over what forms you
  3. Everyone has a first formation
