| Итог: | Christians today seem to have less need for angels as messengers from a God who is out there.' Instead, the Holy Spirit allows us to wrestle' almost playfully with that Spirit who prompts us from within with sighs too deep for words; also with the Spirit who touches and prompts' people in every culture and in all religions; and through present-day ecological spirituality, we are put in touch with the Spirit present and working in the whole network of creatures of which we humans are an integral part. The Spirit revealed in the Bible is a share in God's life-energy, bringing hope and comfort to the downcast, and challenge to those who oppress people and exploit the Earth. This Spirit can communicate with and prompt us not merely in a rational mode by also using a variety of other channels,' such as, dreams, intuitions, unlikely people, myths and symbols from various cultures, universal human values, and the Web of Life and of the Cosmos. And the Spirit works in us, and through us, in a variety of different modes e.g. empowering, inspiring, nudging, flowing and yielding. |
