The title for this blog takes its beginnings from the image created in John Shelby Spong's writing. The way that Christianity has been expressed in the tradition will not simply meet the needs of our time. As with the experience of the babylonian exile by the Jews, he argues that this exile is not our choice and that no clear destination is in view (other than it will not be the place that we have come from.)
In this blog I hope to explore some of the challenges that we face on this road without sign posts as we discern what the future might hold. The criteria for my writing are, as Spong names it honesty, authenticity and integrity.
Shalom.
I look forward to your posts ... and to learning something new! :)
