a story of integration, dis-integration + re-integration - recorded live at "mitchell community fellowship" (manitoba, canada) on sunday, february 17, 2019.

“who we consider the spiritual gatekeepers of the church to be in our contemporary global multi-denominational context + why.”

“the question of whether the canonicity of the bible is as closed as many christians assume it to be + whether having an open view of the canon would actually be a more faithful approach.”

“silently acknowledging God’s reticence with a corresponding uncommunicative response of my own; or my continual struggle with prayer.”

“the parable of ‘curious george’ + its function to explain the global truancy of God as complete, partial, or merely apparent.”

“co-incidents + the unsatisfactory answers held by those who think such events are no more than mathematically probable or no less than divinely orchestrated.”

“the recognition that hybridity rests at the foundation of who we are + that none of us as humans have an objective, non-syncretistic or identical perspective on life + spiritual matters.”

“the problem with overstating an acceptance, qualification, replacement, or rejection of the term ‘christian’ + the contrasting virtue of holding our spiritual nomenclature lightly.”
