There it is. In a nutshell. So much for our spiritual ladder climbing projects.

All of that stuff was nailed to the cross with Jesus.

Thanks. Very interesting blog site.

It seems that the questions must be constantly asked, since the day-in-day out dynamics of our lives press us into relational dynamics of power and ideologies of self-protection and self-advancement.

(I’m sure you’re not surprised.) I’m teaching a course right now on Pauline spirituality for church and ministry, and we are asking the same questions.
