“But I re-asked my question: what is Jesus doing in your city? He looked at me with eyes that said, “I just told you.” That’s the problem with technique: we don’t even see how we live firmly within its horizons.”
Jared, I don’t think we actually know what Jesus is doing unless we’re engaging with people who live around the edges of (or outside of) the middle-class, educated life. Just yesterday in a sermon, a pastor I admire for his level of pastoral care, indicated people were poor because they were lazy. He bemoaned the fact that our poor today are able to eat, unlike the prodigal son. He said this in a church, on a Sunday morning. I’m still stunned thinking about it.
Love this idea and where it might take us. I can imagine in 100 year many of the current denominations will have died out (or at least dwindled significantly) and we'll see a whole new reinterpretation of Jesus and his teachings in light of AI, other spiritual traditions, etc. Please keep us posted on this space:)
