Why start with the Trinity?
Following my dissertation, I have had lots of emails about the significance of starting with a theology of the trinity - as if it is some how dodgey, and was also party to a slightly passionate conversation with some in Moot after a Moot service which has been on my mind for a bit.
For me, if we want to have a church which celebrates diversity and understands the complexity of what Jesus represents, then we need to hold a broad perspective rathen than homing in on one or two aspects of the signifiance of Christ.
In the Emerging Church, the 'And' is a key qualification in how we live diversity, in reaction to the sometimes blinkered perspectives of previous church movements. See below - what do you think?
