The reign of Godde

On the whole subject of post-modernity and Christianity in all its post-forms I can’t think of two quotes that better summarise my feeling on the whole situation than those by Mike Breen and Eddie Gibbs in the following video:

For those who don’t YouTube I’ll loosely quote:

Lance Ford poses the following question to Mike Breen and Eddie Gibbs, “Christendom is over. Is the death of Christendom a good or bad thing?”

Breen says the following:

Religious Faith and Spiritual Experience

The book Mysticism and Sacred Scripture is summarised on infinibeam as follows:

This is the fourth volume in an influential series that presents a basic revaluation of the nature of mysticism. Each provides a collection of solicited papers by noted experts in the study of religion. This new volume will explore how the great mystics and mystical traditions use, interpret, and reconstruct the sacred scriptures of their traditions.

It is also the book that’s arriving next week from Amazon. I was lucky enough to have had Mysticism and Language prescribed for me to read last year. I found Katz’s work so inspiring I went on to purchase the rest of the series – Mysticism and Religious Tradition and Mysticism and Philosophical Analysis. A few weeks ago I found a second hand copy of the fourth book and promptly ordered it.

It may be one hell of an ugly book cover but I really can’t wait to get into it!

BaT Design

I really love the creative process – from concept to frustration to fruition. Here’s the logo for my design company. Both Bev and I have been thinking for a long, long time about doing more design work. We’re finally stepping up to the task!

Associate Editor on the DFV

I’ve told a number of my friends and associates about a project I’m working on – the DFV (Divine Feminine Version – a version of the NT that is gender-inclusive in reference to humanity and feminine in reference to Godde). A large group of individuals have been contributing for several months now and a core team has emerged. I’ll be continuing as part of that team as an Associate Editor. We’ve recently set up a WordPress blog for The Christian Godde Project.

Now I know from face-to-face conversations with a lot of my friends and associates that a lot of people are unhappy with me for two reasons: 1) adopting the word “Godde” in place of “God” and 2) participating in a version of the NT that is opting to render references to Godde in the feminine.
