new post coming soon

I have been working on Chapter 3 of my "expletive" (so as not to offend anyone) dissertation, and have written a lengthy selection on Sacramental Consciousness. The basic idea is that we have an awareness of God's presence through our interactions with symbols (those symbols may be things, or actions, or rituals). It is an awareness of the "already/not yet" of God's presence. Hence when one is ordained, one is already a leader of the church and representative of the Gospel, but at the same time is not yet fully a leader and a representative. This is still a little rough and needs to be fleshed out a little more, which I intend on doing in a future post. Until then, read David Tracy's Analogical Imagination.... that should keep you busy for a while.
