Solo-darity

God the Father, sitting on the left, lifts his hand, blessing the Son. God the Son, sits center, two fingers pointing toward the Spirit. The Father sends the Son, the Son sends the Holy Spirit. All one, distinct yet equal. All soloists in their own right and yet sharing the stage of history. God...the original jazz ensemble.

Nice demonstration of jazz theology. This particular icon has never been a favorite of mine, even though I was aware of its Trinitarian disposition. It always struck me as very strange. I like Christ Pantocrator - Sinai. A lot.

Off the subject, but I wanted to ask. Have you read "The Nonviolent Atonement" by J. Denny Weaver?

I love the idea- flowing together like a song. Each distinct, yet they are at their greatest together. Great analogy.

They've always been together, but we don't always see them as such as we're imperfect.

Great stuff.

Very Interesting...God as a Jazz ensemble...All working together, but also each doing something different. All improvising in history the same song...
