Spencer Perdriau commented on Kile Jones's blog post 'Do We Need More “Ministerial Exceptions”?'
In my mystical orthodox (mature) appreciation, no woman has right to the position to serve God in the capacity of priest, minister, reverend, bishop or other such religious titles of this nature. Woman's place is of earth and nature (the divine…

Meaning and meaning: An Important Difference

[During January, State of Formation entered into a collaboration with The Interfaith Observer to address the subject of meaning making. Eight contributors from various faith and ethical traditions were asked to describe what makes meaning within their practices and/or tradition.]I agree with the overall gist of Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning (1946) in the fact that we all desire, will, and create meaning in our own ways.  I consider…See More

I certainly agree with Ron's comment, but Kile, it sounds as if you have found the Meaning  in your sense of life's Meaninglessness. By the creative authority your existence has given you, you have created Meaning…

I agree with Anaïs Nin “There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person.”  In 2011…

New Journal: Claremont Journal of Religion

A new journal is born!"Religion" is one of the most difficult words to define.  People use the word all of the time but have a hard time flushing out its precise meaning.  Having spent time on issues surrounding defining "religion," I felt it would be a good idea to start a new journal where "religion" can be analyzed, interpreted, and compared with other phenomena.  I figured it would be an accessible, academic, online forum for people to publish on issues surrounding "religion."  Much like…See More

I personally am a fan of vaguity when defining God as God can not be defined but rather defines God's self. There is nothing vague about God's self expression. It is our determination to own God through…

PPS: It takes great spiritual mastery to properly explain profound divine principles "simply", clearly and accurately for all to understand, appreciate, learn and develop from. This is certainly not a result of vagueness or over…

Clarity or Vagueness? Issues in Theological Discourse
