Today is Trinity Sunday, when the church takes a deep breath and engages with one of its most exciting ideas, that of the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This falls at a really good time for me, coming as it does at following the week when I have been studying the way in which the idea of the Trinity has developed over the years and centuries.
There is no hiding from the fact that this idea is one that is difficult to get our heads round, but I think that it’s really exciting because it gives us language for talking about God that allows us to say things in ways that cannot be said otherwise.
My plan for the next quarter of an hour or so is for us to explore this idea together, and by together, I mean that I am going to ask some questions, and you guys are going to chip in with some answers. I want to start with a contribution that one of my fellow students made in class when we were discussing the Trinity.
God is Womble.
Can anybody think of any attributes of Wombles that might tell us something about God?
