“WEARING GOD”
How we image God really does matter. In journeying with people, I’ve discovered that an individual’s reaction to life events often reflects what they think about God. Is God a kind shepherd or a warrior? Through the years I have come to love the many images or faces there are for God. Some are the ones that have been with us a long time: God as Father, God as Shepherd, God as Rock and even God as Baker Woman. But how about clothing, grandmother, fragrance, vineyard dresser? Based on the book Wearing God by Lauren Winner, let’s take a look at some of the more lyrical, often overlooked metaphors for God. This series will run through the remainder of August through Labor Day.
