Searching for God knows what

About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
You scored as Emergent/Postmodern. You are Emergent/Postmodern in your theology. You feel alienated from older forms of church, you don't think they connect to modern culture very well. No one knows the whole truth about God, and we have much to learn from each other, and so learning takes place in dialogue. Evangelism should take place in relationships rather than through crusades and altar-calls. People are interested in spirituality and want to ask questions, so the church should help them to do this.

What's your theological worldview?
created with QuizFarm.comI'm me. I'm in Christ first of all and most importantly. I'm a seeker of truth, a dreamer of possibilities, and a hoper in the beauty which could come of this life.I'm a poet sometimes, a thinker when my mind's turned on, a lover of all humanity. A grace giver, a christ follower, a disciple, a thing in progress.I like to think of us all as paintings, and each are good depictions of the Reality, which is Heaven. In the end the Painter will have done his work, and done it well.A book works too.Quote from the movie Chocolat:"I think we can't go around measuring our goodness by what we don't do - by what we deny ourselves, what we resist and who we exclude. I think we've got to measure goodness by what we embrace, what we create and who we include. "
