luttrellcreek Posted June 18, 2012 Share 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 I fully agree with John Spong that the prevailing theistic portrait of God and Christ is invalid and outdated.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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
