Title:
J. Michael Laidlaw - "God as Poet and Persons on Pilgrimage" (June 24, 1984)
Description:

  • Sermon start time: (Part 1): 34:45. Sermon end time: (Part 2) 09:39.

  • God, like a poet, speaks the word into our life to go, to pick up our lives and our cross and follow God. This call to be on the move is what leads us into our full humanity, as pilgrims following after the poet God. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)

  • Key quotation: “The miracle, I suppose, is that whatever it is that is called God and God’s foolishness, is somehow more to our liking after all, then any or all of the word’s foolishness. That we can no longer be content with our live as they have been and the world as it is. But now, we must be up and on the way. Why? If only because there is something in the movement that makes us human. Or keeps us human. Or at least opens the door to our becoming human. And at last, that restlessness that we have always known, now has a name and that name is God.”
