| Summary: | An ethical turn to the gift of the incarnation as God emptying God's self to allow God to be in solidarity with creation allows us to be in solidarity with the suffering ones in our world. This is how God's presence is experienced. A turn to a powerless God is an ethical statement of condemnation of injustice in God's world. The suffering God evokes in all a sense of empathy and solidarity with all who suffer. This vision of a suffering God, whose powerlessness defines how God makes Itself present in the world ought to be centered in our discourses on the divine. |
