I’ve Changed My Mind

Posted under Church, Culture, truth by FPeatross

I’ve changed my mind so many times the reversals would be too long to list. Yet to challenge the thinker I’ve listed five flip-flops:

1. Ten years, five years ago, I agreed with the attractional church (its focus on relevant worship, music, etc) and the idea that “if you don’t like it, go somewhere else.” Retrospectively, I see things very different today
2. I far prefer the contemplative style over the contemporary. Lights dimmed, candles, icons, Celtic crosses, with a small group of musicians playing (maybe) hammered dulcimer, harp, guitar, and wooden flute
3. From my perception, the 1990s throwback assemblies, organ, old refurbed buildings, choirs, and special choirs has a strange reverence about them
4. Is objective truth tangentially relevant to the human condition? Objective truth unknowingly often becomes subjective truth because what is experienced is always perceived through the filter of our humanness. Whether known by the person or not, the validity of truth depends on the accuracy of perception
5. Related to my ten years ago, I mean five years ago post (see #1) I’ve exchanged cultural relevancy for cultural maker
