luttrellcreek Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Hello and thank you for providing such a supportive forum. I am a Canadian Anglican with ties to the United Church of Canada, too; however, I have been wandering the metaphorical desert for some time. I fully agree with John Spong that the prevailing theistic portrait of God and Christ is invalid and outdated. Strive as I might, I have become weary of the act of translating traditional liturgical words and hymns into something symbolic and metaphorical. I hope this site can be an oasis for a soul who has discovered that the desert is a crowded place, but everyone seems to be reticent to talk about why they are there. Maybe this will be my starting point.
glintofpewter Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Welcome, I can empathize with the burden of translation. Only a few here are reticent. Dutch

soma Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 lttrellcreek welcome. I am here to drink the water in the well that springs up when I read a good post. It makes the sunset in the desert estatic.
