Discussion → Creativity and theology: oil and water?
-
Is there room for creativity in religion? Does taking poetic license threaten tradition or are these two compatible?
-
True religion does not seek to uphold stale dying dogma.
Look at the ruins of the Catholic and Christian Church: a space molested by the fear and shame; a space polluted by the guilt and ignorance taught 'in the NAME of ....JESUS...'.
Christ used parables to teach; Christ was the original Dj of language and words. Christ was the storyteller and the shamanic spark to bring the individual into the fullness of their personal awareness:
NO space existed between themselves and their personal God.
Creativity knows no limits. Creativity seeks to overturn and usurp stagnation, all moments of Life.
Group Description
This group is for those who aren't affraid to swim in the sullen waters of theological fiction/poetry. A small, as-yet unclassified genre, our work rides the line between reverent and irreverent. We believe theology is free expression about religion, no holds barred. Thick skins, a sense of wonder, and beer required.
If you're this kind of writer, send me a message and I'll toss an invite your way. Spread the gospel and tell your friends.
This is a protected group.
You have to be invited in order to join.
