Pastoral Meanderings: The Trinity Games. . .

The Trinity Games. . .

The Trinity is like… well, choose your heresy. . .

Arianism – the sun, which produces light and warmth
Tritheism – the same wine in three bottles
Partialism – the egg which has shell, white and yolk/shamrock with three leaves
Modalism – water, which is ice, fluid or steam

Or, the Trinity is like nothing at all. . . Pick your poison. Confess the Mystery, debunk the Mystery , trivialize the Mystery or ignore the Mystery. . . In any case, it is always worth listening to Hans Fiene. Let the games we play with God's self-revelation begin!!

The Window

This is the Means of Grace Window that is above the altar of Grace Lutheran Church where I serve. It reminds us of the keys (confession and absolution), the wheat(the bread which is the Body of Christ), the cup (which is His Blood), the Word (Scripture), and the Pastoral Office (the red stole). In this one wonderful window we see the treasures of the Church in the Word and Sacraments and I love that it is available for all to see. I realize that this image has been stolen all over the internet but it is a real window, a copyrighted image, belonging to Grace Lutheran Church, Clarksville, Tennessee, which has kindly allowed my use of it...
