Thank you for commenting. I have seen several references to Fr. Fox’s articles. I currently adhere to no Christian group and am seeking truth on my own with God’s help.

Dear Fine Folks,

It is a good idea to read “Original Blessing” by Fr Matthew Fox,O.P.(Dominican), where the Fall-Redemptive” model is exploded and shown for its invalidity. It is repleced by Mystics and Nature Saints as Francis of Assisi, Teresa of Avila…
Please read this illuminating opus.

Sincere Blessings,

Michael- I have come to believe that some of the resistance may be “I’ve ‘worked’ hard for my salvation. And you tell me everyone will be in heaven. It isn’t fair”. The other aspect of that may be that folks are “mad” that no one told them before now and in turn they say it can’t be true.

Jared- You know me, the history teacher, if it’s history, I’m there. I firmly believe it was my love of history that began my journey. Are you talking April 26-27? If so, I’ll put it on my calendar. You were talking about “full circle”. Your Dad and I feel the same way. Christianity started “universalist” (4 of the 6 theology schools)and now it’s coming “full circle”.

I love these church history pieces and the perspective they give. Wow! Look how far the mainstream church has strayed! But also, look at the “full circle” starting to come back into view! I’ll bet folks are getting more ready than we think to hear and embrace the reconciliatory news of the nature of our Father. Thanks, Don.

Oh, BTW, I’m going to be back in the metroplex area the last weekend of April for a visit with the fam. Maybe it would work out to have “McChurch” with you and dad and whoever else is around. Hope to see you then!

Looking back at the history is so, so fascinating. And yet I come across people severely offended by even the idea of universal reconciliation.

We’re all a product of our times, and our ability to transcend that only goes so far, I guess.
