I was raised in Humanist congregations and I still hold those teachings in my core. But as an adult I’ve experienced a few epiphanies. And many more days of just showing up and doing the dishes. Now I embrace reason and mystery and I am wary of certainty.

 

I am comfortable using theistic language and there are times when I pray to a Great Mother. However, for me “god” is an adjective or verb – a process of constant becoming. Nothing is fixed, nothing is unchanging, and we are co-creators in each moment.

 

I suppose this makes me a Process theologian, or perhaps I’m also a Pragmatist, or simply an apophatic mystic. But the most important thing to know about my theology is that it demands that I show up and give thanks.
