"open source theology - collaborative theology for the emerging church" is a cool website with some interesting insights...
what a cool idea, that we all participate in our understanding of god... for example, i have an okay understanding of god's fairness, that is, i have no issue with him being fair cause i have never experienced anything that is _so_ bad as to shake my acceptance of his goodness and fairness... a friend though, who has sat through her mother's bout with ms and eventual death, has a harder time grasping the ideas of fairness and prayer and keeping us 'safe'...
another friend says if you pray hard enough and have enough faith, then god will heal you no matter what... now, i completely disagree with him, but i think here we are with three different understandings of god's fairness and the way prayer works, etc... if we can all take into account each others ideas, perhaps we can get somewhere... kind of a democratic way of understanding god, ey?...
i dunno, i'm probably wrong... but maybe not?...
