What a lovely message, especially in the world today where it seems that many lenses are only able to view the world in one way which limits relationships rather than enlarging the circle of love.
Beautiful reflection on how relationships transform theology. The Calvin metaphor about shared lenses in differnt frames is brilliant because it acknowledges both unity and diversity without dismissing either. What stood out to me is how the relationshipswith actual people preceded doctrinal shifts rather than the other way around, which honestly mirrors how most significant theological change has happened throughout church history. Grace lived out before it was fully understood.
Thanks so much, Al Architect, for your encouraging words and for your valuable thoughts on how our relationships shape theology. We are truly made for each other.

Yes, more relationship building and wider cycles, please!
Thank you, April. I have a dear friend I plan to share your message with.
Thanks, Anne. I’ll be praying for your friend.
