“[god’s] door, whether they know Jesus or not.” Henri Nouwen, Sabbatical Journey, p. 149   “The church’s fixation on the death of Jesus as the universal saving act must end, and the place of the cross must be reimagined in the Christian faith.” Alan Jones, Reimagining Christianity, p. 132   “I don’t believe that what we can know of Jesus is confined by the New Testament… There is no such thing as ‘what really happened.’” Allen Jones, Reimagining Christianity, p. 209   What God has decided and prophesied will be and no amount of imagining will change that!
