[Craic] Theology

[Allan Baker]

Friends;

A very interesting theological discussion this morning.
Thank you all, and special thanks to our facilitator - Ted Schmidt.

In 2008 the United Church of Canada adopted “A Song of Faith”. The beginning is, I believe, relevant to the discussion of the nature of god that was discussed this morning, so I offer it for your personal reflections.

Stay hopeful;
Allan

God is Holy Mystery,

beyond complete knowledge,

above perfect description.

 

Yet,

in love,

the one eternal God seeks relationship.

 

So God creates the universe

and with it the possibility of being and relating.

God tends the universe,

mending the broken and reconciling the estranged.

God enlivens the universe,

guiding all things toward harmony with their Source.

 

Grateful for God’s loving action,

We cannot keep from singing.

 

With the Church through the ages,

we speak of God as one and triune:

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We also speak of God as

Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer

God, Christ, and Spirit

Mother, Friend, and Comforter

Source of Life, Living Word, and Bond of Love,

and in other ways that speak faithfully of

the One on whom our hearts rely,

the fully shared life at the heart of the universe.

We witness to Holy Mystery that is Wholly Love.
