“God knows we need structure. We long for a father to establish limits, just as we long for the mother's nurturing. It is important for the wisdom of the elders to be passed on, and the wisdom is, "These are norms for human behavior. This is what works in our culture. And this is what's abnormal. This doesn't work in our culture.”
J. Pittman McGehee, Invisible Church, The: Finding Spirituality Where You Are

“Many theologians and psychologists have tried to view the Christian myth through a new lens, to view it as a myth with great power and efficacy for meaning, wholeness, and psychological health. Critics will say that this is an attempt to psychologize Christianity. Adherents will say it's opening up and revitalizing the religion. In the end, each one of us gets to choose and decide. The only tragedy is using this myth as an authoritarian fear tactic to keep people subordinate and infantilized. To me, that is the real evil.”
J. Pittman McGehee, Invisible Church, The: Finding Spirituality Where You Are

“But for my money, and for my understanding of Jung and depth psychology, the stories of the Bible (and all sacred texts and oral traditions) emerged out of the collective unconscious. Paradoxically, this doesn't make them any less valuable. It makes them much more valuable to us, because they reveal to us the nature of being human, which is the purpose of religion.
If religion is about the business of helping us to become human, then these sacred stories are about how to be human. That is what religion is. To me, the idea that these myths welled up out of the collective unconscious is a liberating and empowering realization. I get it now! What a relief!”
