brickianity
...i was just reading part of Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell - he had a neat way of looking at Christian theology as something that should be experienced rather than defended...he uses two analogies, one of a brick wall and one of a trampoline...he equates following Jesus, or following "the way" to being on a trampoline - he talks about questioning everything and having joy in life....he says how we often think of theology as something that we need to defend and convince people about - rather than embrace some of the mystery that comes with following God...he asserts the historical orthodox Christian faith - but he questions whether we should look at that faith as a brick wall, where some are inside and some are outside the wall...i thought brickianity was a cool word - thanks Rob.
