Why then are we so intent on delivering mechanistically structured sermons that disincarnate truth into distilled points delivered in lecture styles that challenge the eyelids of the most caffeinated? We have been trained to deliver left-brain theological algebra to people with EPIC cravings. We have defined what is “real” in abstract, scientific Enlightenment terms that spell endarkenment for twenty-first-century participants. We have “industrialized” faith into prepackaged and “tested” dogmas wrapped in paper and coded in words and wonder why the divine ends up in the dust heap.
