reJesused

From Oense: Brueggemann comments on the role of the preacher as the source of an alternative, Christ-centered imagination. If the church (read "school") needs to be continually reJesused, then those who give voice to the church’s public speech ought to be committed to drenching the church’s collective imaginations in the gospel. Says Brueggemann:

“The event of preaching is an event of transformed imagination…Because finally church people are like other people; we are not changed by new rules. The deep places of our live – places of resistance and embrace are reached only by stories, by images metaphors and phrases that line out the world differently apart from our fear and hurt.”
