Check Out Peter Rollins

By “check out”, I mean spend some time. Or at least plan on spending some time, if you want to begin to understand who he is and what he’s about. YouTube is a good place to look, but don’t watch just one or you might think he’s a nutcase (although he’d probably enjoy that). He’s brilliant and combining art, music, drama, and anythingelsethatstrikeshisfancy to create a life giving space for people to connect with each other and the Sacred. Here’s a quote that applied to this blog:

“The argument is made that naming God is never really naming God, but only naming our understanding of God. To take our ideas of the divine and hold them as if they correspond to the reality of God is thus to construct a conceptual idol built from the materials of our mind.”
