Reforming a Tradition of Transformation
I've not gotten very far in my responsibilities as a "theo-blogger" for the Transforming Theology Project. But, I'm trying to understand the principles and processes of this project by listening to and responding to the thoughts of Philip Clayton, which have helpfully been placed on YouTube and thus on the transforming theology blog!
In this brief posting Philip Clayton wrestles with reformation and tradition. He suggests that church history is really the history of a series of challenges, which no one at the time knows how to resolve, and yet works to find a solution. That is the principle of the Reformation -- Semper Reformata, "always reforming." The foundation of the Progressive Christian project is to take this to heart.
Take a listen and offer your thoughts to this question of reforming the tradition, so that theology and the church might be transformed!
