Nice to see we had a few brave souls chime in…<\/p>\n

So that we can do theology in concert together<\/strong>, lwe need to make sure we are all playing the same song.<\/p>\n

Listen to the words of our composer:<\/p>\n

"For I<\/strong> was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I<\/strong> was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I<\/strong> was a stranger and you invited me in, I<\/strong> needed clothes and you clothed me, I<\/strong> was sick and you looked after me, I<\/strong> was in prison and you came to visit me…I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me<\/strong>."<\/em> (Matthew 25.35-36, 40)<\/p>\n

Remember a classical<\/strong> approach to theology will see the answer in what is being said (nothing wrong with that). A jazz<\/strong> approach will see the answer in what is being done.<\/p>\n

Now that we know the song, let's ask the question again, "What color is Jesus?"<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Anybody care to take a solo? Let the improvisation begin!<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
