Too often we are vulnerable to seeing G-d present only in our traditions, and not in their evolution. But in Cascadia, we are compelled to recognize that our traditions cannot contain G-d. Here in Cascadia, it is clear to me that G-d is present in the movement toward complexity, the burst of chaos. Here, I see G-d’s Spirit hovering over the waters. This kind of growth can be more difficult to discern. It looks so different from what we might expect. But Cascadia is indeed a place where theology is being explored and church is being done, but it is done in new and exploratory ways. The church here is not less than, just different.
