One response to “For the Bible Tells Me So”
-
Personally, I’ve never had a problem with churches – my last church knew my son as a person and if anybody did have reservations they were not going to voice them about one of their own to one of their own – most members of the congregation were totally OK as one would expect.
What I have occasionally had problems with: the occasional Christian saying something which made me yearn for a pick axe, like ‘but one day we will cure homosexuals’ (over my dead body do you cure my son of being himself. Take this literally for the good of your own health.)
‘Most of this congregation are wholly accepting of gay Christians. Of course I can see it is more difficult if it is your own child’. (Only different in so far as it is better, sonny)It should not be an issue. Except perhaps outside the church. I clean for a lovely elderly couple. Mrs is eagerly awaiting further news of my outfit for son’s civil union in the summer – she lives in terror of Mr saying something crashingly tactless. I wish I could say something to reassure her that I know Mr is just about as tactful as I am, and he is forgiven beforehand. No offence meant and none taken as ’twere.

Or the gentle, holy family lined up waiting with their pigeons with all the other holy families who were waiting to make their offering that day.…

4th Century
It strikes me that I might have enjoyed living through the 4th century christology controversies. Anathemas and Excommunications of opponents might have been just the thing for me.

Theology Cards
I stumbled across a series of “theology cards” on http://disseminary.org/ which are just the kind of thing that makes me thankful for the web. It adds so much spice to life. I like the Tertullian one best – http://disseminary.org/hoopoe/pubs/cards/Tertullian1.pdf – Tertullian looks wonderfully grumpy you can imagine him growling… “What has Athens to do with Jerusalem?”(We do…
