In Between is a production of Ordinary Life, an educational offering of St. Paul's United Methodist Church in Houston, TX. In Plato's Symposium, Socrates offered up his understanding of Eros (or Love) as given to him by the oracle, Diotima. Love is the metaxy, or "in between" what is human and divine, what is human and human, and what is human and everything else. In short, there is no love without the in between. We are also always operating in between: life and death, today and tomorrow, youth and old age, past and future. The only thing we have is the moment, thus how can we learn to live each one with more purpose, love, and compassion. We are figuring out our way between the no longer and the not yet, sitting with questions about spirituality, religion, and human becoming in light of what we know of evolutionary cosmology. Our weekly podcast is an exploration that furthers connection and conversation about what it means to live in the current world with more faith, hope, and joy.

As we think about “reframing Jesus,” we wonder what it could mean to approach the teachings of Jesus in a dynamic, evolving way. What assumptions are we as individuals bringing to our spiritual and social experiences, and can we move through these to be transformed in ways that create “a new world order?” As humans playing a part in evolutionary reality, we must constantly be held in the tension of letting go of the old and imagining new ways of being. We have a part to play in creating the world we want to live in. To engage further in these conversations, to re-imagine faith, join the webinar with Michael Morwood August 27, 7-9pm.
