Whenever life is affirmed over against death, there the Spirit is at work.
-Beverly Mitchell on Moltmann
Tonight in Systematic Theology we talked about how Jürgen Moltmann believes the Holy Spirit is at work whenever life is affirmed over and against death. Dr. Mitchell said that “anyone who says yes to life says no to war."
Then I came home and said no to life and yes to war. I killed a mouse. Earlier he visited me and felt like a friend, but I didn’t want his poop on my floor or countertop. Where is the Holy Spirit in that? Does radical hospitality include little creatures that defecate all over your house? So many questions, so little time!
