Talk About God
Brian Evison introduced Reverend Jeffrey Lee, of St. Thomas Church in Bellevue, who remarked that the Christmas season brings about a “fair amount of talk, based on theology, of what could be called God-talk. Talk about God? What does it mean? We cannot ever describe God precisely. If you can understand it, it’s not God.”
“So,” said Rev. Lee, “what’s the point? Talk is cheap and can be profoundly dangerous. There’s not a major conflict around the globe that doesn’t not have theology tied into it.
It’s increasingly clear that religion is the problem and the solution.”
Rev. Lee said we should be able to account for the “acts of selflessness and courage daily around the world. When I visited Ground Zero in New York recently, I was drawn to St. Paul’s chapel, only a block from Ground Zero. Inside, the pews were gouged by the workers belts and tools as they used the chapel as a refuge and a haven from their recovery efforts.” MORE
