聽神談【「新靈性」將帶來的改變】
新靈性能夠改變這一切(傳統性、排他性的宗教沒有教導的)。
新靈性能夠提出新的觀點,是一種非排他性、非精英化、非分離的觀點。
新靈性能夠邀請人們慎重思考,數百年來第一次、某些新的神學觀念。
它能夠為研究與討論的目的,提供一些新的啟示。
新靈性將比目前宗教神學所固守的教義,具有更開放的觀念。
新靈性將比目前宗教神學所考慮的教義,具有更恢宏的想法。
新靈性將比目前宗教神學所容許的教義,具有更偉大的機會,
讓個人的體驗與表達更能發揮。
那些陳舊的排他性宗教以及精英化與分離性神學,
已經不再對你們有助益了。
摘自《與神對話之新啟示》第24章
Yet the New Spirituality can change all that.
Yes. It can present a new point of view, one that is not exclusivist, not elitist or separatist.
It can invite people to seriously consider, for the first time in centuries, some new theological ideas.
It can offer, for exploration and discussion, some New Revelations.
The New Spirituality will open minds to larger concepts than present theologies embrace, to grander ideas than present theologies consider, and to greater opportunities for individual experience and expression than present theologies allow.
For your old exclusivist religions and your elitist, separatist theologies no longer serve you.
