The FTT team discussed prayer and the deconstruction of prayer.
Holly Madden shares a poem by Mary Oliver, “How I Go To The Woods”
Christie Love shares a powerful quote this week,
“When prayer becomes our proxy for our proximity, we have an issue.”
Phil Snider, whose voice was missing from the recording this week, but who included to the discussion, shared this quote:
“Prayer is not a transaction or interaction with some hyperbeing in the sky, a communication with some ultrareality behind the scenes, the invocation or appeasement of a magical power of supernatural intervention from on high. Prayer has to do with hearing, heeding, and hearkening to a provocation that draw out of ourselves.” -John Caputo
thanks for listening :)
We hope you are able to find a safe, supportive community in your deconstructing because "no one deserves to deconstruct alone" as we mentioned during week 17. Our Flipped Table Theology Facebook group may be a starting place for you and we encourage anyone who is deconstructing or processing religious trauma to join.
