A spirituality which addresses itself to all humanity. I believe in the universal accessibility of spirituality and specifically the life which God intends for man to live. This will sound lots like universalism, but universalism is not even close to what i am saying. I am saying that all people are invited/available to engage.
A spirituality that has, as its distinctions, not haircuts or communication styles or other cultural entanglements but an applicability so easily grasped by anyone in any place that it seems altogether too obvious and backwards, but cannot be disregarded. A spirituality that lives in such a way that one’s “yes” is “yes” and “no” is “no”, and allows other people to respond simply and forthrightly; yes or no.
A spirituality which does not try to fit the infinite God into the narrowness of one’s own space, but is concerned more with living within the infinity of this God. A spirituality that can distinguish between one’s preferences and God’s ideas of what spirituality is and is not.
The use of xian is meant, more or less, to be a short-hand form of ‘christian’. Daoists may or may not find suitable analogies when the word is used throughout this blog. Please take what is helpful and disregard the rest- it’s not scripture, after all.
