What to do in Lent 2013?
Yes, updating one’s theology might be the beginning of a new journey into the unknown, with God’s Spirit. Was that what Sunday’s Gospel reading was about? Did Jesus model the beginning of his ministry with a wilderness experience, accompanied by God’s Spirit?
On day 7 of Lent 2013 I received a blogpost from a friend in the Roman Catholic denomination of Christianity; Ted Schmidt. Ted also wrote about updating our theology – no kidding!
He says that:
“The bigger story for Christians is the acknowledgement that we are living in the midst of a massive paradigm shift in history, one in which the old theology is hopelessly unable to discern.”
Part of Ted’s conclusion is that:
” The Church needs to recover its “kingdom” focus, to be a herald of that evolutionary power. When it does maybe religion can make a comeback. Right now most people have moved beyond it to spirituality.”
