Finding Wild Space
John 2:1-11
Second Sunday after Epiphany - Year C
January 17, 2010
...we can borrow three tools from Sallie McFague: first, living those "cross-shaped" lives.  As alternative a vision as the beatitudes of Jesus, McFague's image of the cruciform life offers the same kind of invitation to a transformed way of living. Cruciform living offers abundance through the practice, she says, of "enoughness." We limit our consumption of the world's resources in recognition of the needs of others.
Second, she offers us some new house rules. We recognize the world as God's home, the place that God became and still becomes incarnate, as McFague puts it: "the 'glory' of God is not just heavenly, but earthly."   So if the world is God's home, we should abide by God's house rules.
