"you're packing a suitcase for a place that you've never been...a place that has to be believed to be seen"...U2
This website tells a story that is unfolding in my mind. Be sure to watch the clips on the left as you read. I aim for this to be multi sensory learning. It reflects the new emerging way we can see things. This message is presented in a format which can communicate and support...a format that didn't exist 5 years ago.
Things are changing fast...the church can't keep up...particularly if it intentionally weighs things down.
The concept of Centerpoint Christianity briefly stated is:
Christianity from the centerpoint outward.
Christianity from the climax forward.
This blog constitutes concepts for a new view of Christianity that begins with what is foundational and moves forward from that point. It is based on the assumption that we are being pulled towards something unseen and pushed from a place that once was.
What Centerpoint Christianity attempts to do is bypass some of the constraints imposed by metanarratives by using the life of Christ and particularly the climactic actions of Christ as beginning points.
It supports the conviction that God is essentially timeless. From this beginning point we endeavor to move outward from the definitive moment of the parousia (visitation) of Christ and forward to the future which functions as a type of magnet to "what can be--and is coming".
When we begin at the life of Christ and move outward as from the centerpoint of a web, rather than in a linear timeline of history, another wide picture emerges.

And a song I was writing is left undone
I don't know why I spend my time
Writing songs I can't believe
With words that tear and strain to rhyme
And so you see I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs The only truth I know is...
Kathy's song-- written by Paul Simon
