Trinity Sunday

Trinity Sunday was last Sunday and it was a day that marked, coincided and complimented the start of Pentecost. The spirit is with us, it is always with us, it has always been with us. The recognition of this doctrine that the church has deduced from our scripture (the term ‘Trinity’ isn’t actually in the Bible) is the reason why I have come back to Christianity after fundamentalism: oneness. The term oneness and trinity are paradoxical. But paradoxes seem to be littered in truth. Jesus was the master of paradox and I think our lives are lived best when we live in these spaces: the last will be first etc. And so we are left with the paradox of the trinity. The one true God, the oneness of the divine is not actually one but three. The might and strength of God is revealed to us in God’s humility and vulnerability. It is all a part, it is all one. And so we celebrate Trinity Sunday as a recognition and reminder of what we already know, what we already live and who we already are: a part of this Trinity, this oneness that never excludes and always makes room for the other. Because nothing is other: not a building we made from the slurp of cement or the clouds that float above our minds. It is all a part and we are all a part of it all.
