This Sunday (May 30)is Trinity Sunday. The only day of the church when we take time to reflect more on a teaching of the church than on the teaching of Jesus. This doesn't make it less valuable though since the concept of God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit is not the result of some isolated ivory tower dwelling scholars, but resulted from the people of God grappling with their experiences with God and reconciling those experiences to the words of Christ and to God himself. The concept of the Trinity...One God in Three persons as Father, Son and Holy Spirit...helps us realize just how much we don't know about God and that's a great deal.
