Well, I wasn't around when you first posted this, it seems fun, so I'll play.
Which reality most confirms your faith in God?
D) Pied beauty- how I see Jesus love people unique to them. The way he loves my disabled son versus the way he loves my practical husband. The way he blesses ministries differently, all for the goal of advancing His Father's Kingdom here on earth. He speaks to my friend through cardinals, my other fried through rainbows, and to me through provision.
Which doctrine most urges you to prayer?
D) Creation- God's creation calls to me. I learned this as a senior in high school at a summer camp I went to. Lonely and scared, He met me there. My prayers are most earnest when said outside, eyes opened, taking in creation—it compels me to pray. I'm not sure I "understood the brief" for this question, but this is what I have ;-).
Which small group do you sign up for?
B) Prayer walks with Macrina- See above.
Which image of the kingdom most excites your sense of vocation?
C) Zoological park: no fences between wolves, lambs, leopards, kids, lions, fatlings, and toddlers.
I discussed this with my husband today— my work increasingly takes me into other faith denominations. Even if we don't see eye to eye theologically, I am experiencing peace and a "sharpening" by being around other believers—people that I would have written off 20 years ago. The fact that I can now meet them on common ground and love them without judgment is a blessing. I am happy to be serving with them in God's kingdom on earth.
Which of these effects of sin do you need to explore more deeply and notice more thoroughly?
B) Roadblocks to justice and incentives to violence
I had never had the time to consider any of this before. My brain had no space, but I am excited to learn more about this space.
Which theological grouping would bear fruit you want to eat?
A) Neighborhood communities, theologies of food, doctrine of the fall
I love people and community, which is why my MDiv is in hospital Chaplaincy. I also love how different cultures gather around food. I love how communal and "handsy" eating is in different cultures. When I think about the marriage supper of the Lamb, I picture us gathering around Jesus like that. Maybe we are eating real food, maybe not, but we're together and having conversations that only good "handsy" food can bring about. I am not quite sure where the doctrine of the fall comes into play; I'll have to give that more thought :-)
Which healthy cross-fertilization does the global church need ASAP?
What do we need ASAP?
D) Reformed-Anabaptist
I once was called a heretic for saying I see both in scripture, and I was comfortable not choosing. People get frustrated with me for that. Oh well. I've heard Reformists call Anabaptists heretics and vice verse. Yucky. So sick of it. Let's unite, people; we're ripping each other to shreds.
