Following from my last post – I think Rob Bell and St Benedictine are saying similar things – everything is spiritual, everything has a bearing on our relationship with God, God is in everything
The Shiny Headed Prophet
a space to talk about faith, church, god, society, our journey and all that real stuff that matters in a post modern world … or just the ramblings of a bald post modern pilgrim! I must stress the postings on this site are my own and don't necessarily represent the views of the Diocese of Chelmsford, the Bishop of Chelmsford, the parish of St Barnabas Little Ilford, the Church of England or anywhere I may happen to be working. These views are personal!
Ei, Rob bell drops the line 'there is no word for spiritual in the hebrew languace' like a right clanger phrase's like that and "in the origianal greek this word really actually ment prostitute" are a bit hard to deal with cos most of us just don't know and can't really find out very easilly.How ever if you were to take the inital quote seriously it makes idea's such as 'new age spirituallity' and 'spiritual not religious' a bit of a Joke (My pastor as a child alway's said he was not religious just a freind of Jesus) Especially interesting if you think of books such as John Drane's Do Christians Know How to be Spiritual?'. although I'd like to think if translated into hebrew the translator could choose to call is 'DO Chrisitians know how to be Human?'
