Blog of the Grateful Bear

ramblings of a freelance panentheist {"all things are in God, and God is in all things"} . . . musings on Emergent spirituality, powerlifting, LGBTQueer issues, contemplative prayer, mysticism, cats, music, healing, and more. I like my coffee and my existentialism dark-roasted.

Integral Holiness


My friend Carl McColman has posted an excellent entry at his blog, The Website of Unknowing, called “Integral Holiness.” Carl looks at the way Christians have traditionally defined “holiness” – according to purity codes like those found in the book of Leviticus – and proposes another way of looking at holiness: in terms of compassion, rather than purity. This way of holiness relies less on the laws of Leviticus and more on the teachings of Christ. Check it out.

Sounds good to me! Didn't Jesus say something about holiness not being what goes into you, but what comes out of you.
