Summary of Ordinary Life for April 30, 2023

Dear Ones -

I continued this week to speak about our having an evolving understanding of and relationship with the mystery we refer to when we use the word “God.” One of the things we have inherited, I think it is part of our religious DNA, is the belief that God is “all-powerful.” When this characteristic is put with the belief that God is also “all-loving,” huge problems occur. If God is both, then why is there so much harm and hurt both in our world and in our personal lives? Decades ago I found some answers to this that were helpful to me in the writings of Leslie Weatherhead, an English preacher and theologian. This is what I built this week’s talk in Ordinary Life on. I called it -
