God

“The word ‘God’ is not about something more than we are, it is about all that we are. ‘God’ is about understanding the final dimension of our life; it is about a humanity that has been opened to divinity. It is about stepping into eternity while still walking in time. It is about the experience that Paul Tillich called ‘The Eternal Now’.  It is about entering humanity so deeply that we taste eternity and experience what we have traditionally called heaven.”

John Shelby Spong, “Beyond Theism but not beyond God”, as given to us in the Jesus Seminar, “The Future of the Christian Tradition”. (2007), P. 44.
