No Christian and, indeed, no historian could accept the epigram which defines religion as “what a man does with his solitude.” It was one of the Wesleys, I think, who said that the New Testament knows nothing of solitary religion. We are forbidden to neglect the assembling of ourselves together. Christianity is already institutional in the earliest of its documents. The Church is the Bride of Christ. We are members of one another.
Brothers and sisters, while we may search for God in solitary meditation and prayer, the ultimate goal of spirituality is communion with God and God’s children. To deny ourselves this communion, is to succumb to the false notion of separation. This false notion of divisibility underlies all sin. Indivisible means undivided, which is the true nature of being in both the physical and spiritual worlds. In fact, both worlds are different sides of the same coin.
When we are in communion with God and man, the spiritual and material and with all things, we will be living in the garden God created for us to populate together.
Together,
Stan
Good Morning Garden
