Of possible interest

This was posted on a UU Facebook page I follow (I Am UU) and I thought that while the piece and the subsequent discussion are UU, the issue of how to be a missional church in a theological diverse environment is one that the UCCan may increasingly confront. Not expecting much discussion on this, but thought it might be enlightening to some of you.

Hi Mendalla:

 

To me, the unity of being speaks out of nature. Indigenous North American spirituality summarizes this unity in their sacred benison: All My Relations.

 

Nature is our church in which all is/are one unified whole. If we turn away from the distracting chatter of our thoughts, and just experience, then we experience the unity that underlies all diversity.

 

The universe ITself is the ultimate United Universalist Church.

 

And we all are an inseparable part of IT, whether we like it or not.

Einstein called it relativity, most can't relate to how he was trying to relate to the Cosmological Constant of change ... the whole dame thing turns about on a unknown point ... ephraim to build some flexibility into for those omnipotent corruptions ... that are fixed as hardhearted collossus ...

 

The phallus Ci of Rome? Many missed IT ... as a biblical fall ... when one depends too much on power and ignores the lesser ... even negative emotions as thought ... the Nus or Venus can be filled in on what's missing  being this is the fringe of night! Why creation burns apocalyptic ignitious of the mortal mind ... provides star dust to build upon ... the subtle IDiom?
