A quote from Richard Rohr, Liminal Space
Although I have not been able to check it out, two different scripture scholars have told me that Jesus is asked 183 questions directly or indirectly among the four Gospels. Do you know how many of these he directly answers? Three! Jesus’ idea of church is not about bringing people answers but, in fact leading them into liminal and dark space, where they will long and yearn for God, for wisdom and for their own souls!
A long time ago I was asked at a conference why I taught religion – and I realised that if I was able to provide an opportunity where the presence of God was felt, students would ask their own questions. I believe God loves that!
May we always leave space for the questions, even if we don’t have the answer.
