An Apophatic Journey

An Apophatic Journey

Categories:

This Sunday, for the annual visit to Crossroads by a student from the Vancouver School of Theology, Crossroads welcomes fourth year M.Div. student Cathy Merchant. Cathy is a Buddhist studying at a Christian seminary, and her calling is to Interfaith ministry.

Cathy reflects with the Crossroads congregation on Psalm 139, hearing it with the ears of tradition as King David’s testimony about God’s accompaniment in human life. She unfolds the story of David’s life and calling, reflecting on how the Psalm presents God as a relentless and inescapable presence, holding the powerful (and sometimes erring) king to account.

Then she introduces some fancy words she learned at seminary, and moves into an exploration of her own journey with God and her own deepest call, inviting the congregation to affirm, with her, the presence of God in all the seasons of life.
