I don't know. You spend years developing the concept of Beaker Christianity - a kind of non-denominational, non-confessional faith tradition where it doesn't matter what you believe.
The great thing is, by making no claims as to absolute truth, nobody can disagree with us. An argument over the existence of God? We side-slip it by saying God is a relative concept - to be found "in there", or "up here", or "over there". No absolutes, no morals, no meaning. Just whatever you make of it.
And then some Dutch churches go and steal the idea. Note the Rice Grains understanding of eternity. We did that down in the Moot House only last week. And you know what was worse? They're not even paying royalties.
Absolutely fascinating.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to hear so many diverse opinions from my favourite country.
How did you find the article?
But Beaker Spirituality is THE TRUTH, the Dutch only adopt it to draw in the "something out there"'s. Where's the integrity in that?
