Sometimes we find answers but more often than not just clues. Most big questions, as it turns out, have never been answered once and for all. So in our own small way the youth continue the quest for truth in the balcony of this church month after month. There aren t many youth in this country digging that deep. With some luck and a lot of work our youth may grown up with God and not be stuck as adults with sophisticated knowledge of the world and a third grade understanding of God.
Theology can be fun, especially in a feisty yet humble group.
Pat and I have another go at such questions with any and all who care to drop in. At our very first session eight adults grappled with several knotty religious questions including how, if at all, does God intervene in the world. Despite our traditional religious language, on closer examination some of us wonder if we might in fact be pantheists or even practicing, practical atheists without knowing it. I wonder that about myself. We hardly know what light is.
