A place to post about St. Julian of Norwich and her theology of Love. You are Love, and you are the Maker, and everything which is made endures, and will always endure, because you love it; and thus everything has being through your love.

I like this idea. Will try to post some musings later today!

Don't you mean G? :D Good OP post Shawn. :)

Well, do you? :)

I will really miss you as a moderator here Kim...you are great at it. Your plans (vision!) sound very interesting and I think you will succeed, in your own eyes and in those who read and see your work. I also think it is very exciting that you plan to continue work in interfaith. I bet you...

It seems like 'fundamentalist' and 'ideologue' mean about the same thing.

I agree with all of that Brian, and especially this last bit. The whole issue is too complex for a simple slogan to answer. I am pro-choice for this reason although like you I have more criticisms of it than praise. As for family planning, haha! So right! Little prepares us for the shock...

So, would you also agree with the statement that no one should have sex unless they are willing to devote the rest of their life to being a parent? Given that most birth control methods short of sterilization can fail, under what circumstances is it OK to have sex if one does not want to...

Hi Thomas, Thank you for this. This was our reading for today as well, one of my favorites. I agree that wherever one falls on the Jesus was God spectrum, it's impossible to deny that here Christ said he was God, the Bread of Life. Lovely!

Happy Birthday, Brian!!!

One thing that is interesting about this is that we can bolster our immune systems by simple things like eating well-balanced diets, getting enough sleep and exercise, reducing the pollutants in our environment. Sometimes I just have to sigh when I think about 'issues' like global warming...

Interesting post Janz. :) I started a new thread so people could explore this whole issue a bit more. http://www.interfaith.org/forum/who-should-develop-new-medicines-11872.html

Wow earl, that sounds like a close call! I am glad that you caught this in time. Each day, each breath is a gift and it is so easy for us to forget this. I know you will be able to do the things you need to to get healthy. I try to walk or bike or do something daily for exercise as...

I was baptized as an infant and rejoice in God's infinite grace and love that this is sufficient. It is a wonderful thing when we grow into an intellectual understanding of God's sovereignty in our lives, and a deeper understanding of his love and mercy. It's a satisfying thing to enrich our...

BTW, Kim. Have you read much about Julian of Norwich? She was not EO, but what a great theology and amazing life she had (for someone who spent all her mature years in a cell)!!

Hi Kim, I also like the Eastern Orthodox approach to theology, and all the points you mention. If I were not Anglican I would be Eastern Orthodox. luna

Just wanted to highlight this. :) Good to see you around, Thomas!

Genesis has a lot of depth and nuance telling about a peoples' relationship with God. I think essentially it is a story that describes our moral autonomy and how we (mis)use it.

Hi earl, Thank you for sharing your new-found perspective, although my feeling is that if anyone has been preparing to shed the minutia of life and experience the things that really count (loving, breathing, seeing) it is yourself. I hope you have a full recovery and no future repeats of...

Hell is being apart from God.
