Stars and Sparrows Alike

A House Sparrow




Stars and sparrows alike

flow down streams -

the seas above speckled

with the white fire of the powers that be –



The sparrows alike,

striped with the brownred black

strokes of the Artist’s brush –



A white spot left

for the sparrow’s

own fire and passion.



Both stars and sparrows alike

light the twilight forest ablaze -

shall we follow?



As above, the sparrows fly,

So below, the stars descend -



Stars and sparrows alike,

lovers unite.

Ready, Set, Go!

In my last blogpost, I mentioned that I wanted to start relationships with 4 others. I gave two of them: God and you, the readers. At the end of the post, I said that I hoped for the two others to show up in the next post, which is this one. However, I took on a way bigger task than I had initially thought. And because of it being larger than my life at the moment, I have to postpone naming those 2 others until I'm comfortable doing the task. With that in mind, let me start this blog off right! Name of the blog "The Worst Theologian" is the personal blog of Christian Guild (me). It's given that title because I'll never be a good theologian. I know that sounds self-critical, but I don't think I'll ever be a "good" theologian. I say that because God is so unknowable, yet knowable at the same time, that I'll never be ably to study the Divine, in the truest sense. The only way to really express the Divine is through metaphor - whether tha...

My Brother Died Suddenly and That's Okay

"1. Is what you're saying helping anyone?" - The first rule in Everson Guild's Guide to Being Awesome (2002-2017) Death and the Question of Evil This year, on July 24th, my 14-year-old brother, Everson Guild , passed away unexpectedly. My whole family was in shock. He was too athletic, too outgoing, and too healthy to die so soon. There were no signs of any disease or defect and no drugs in his system according to the autopsy. So, how did he die? We don't know and may never know. My family (and loads of his friends) is content without knowing the cause of his death. But, they certainly would love to know why  he died. What purpose did it have? Why, when one of my family member's prayed and longed for him to live, did he still lay cold? These questions have haunted my family for the last 5 months like Halloween was going out of style. They linger in my family's heads and hearts as if the questions themselves were trapped in a tomb. And yet, every ...

The Crucifixion of Nonviolence

Image
"Crucifixion" by Freddy Dendoktoor During the past couple of weeks, I’ve been reading various articles and books on the Anabaptist movement and descendants of the Radical Reformation. The Radical Reformation took place at the same time as the magisterial reformation (Calvinists, Lutherans, etc.) but articulated different ideas and practices the church got wrong. The radical reformers died for their beliefs in: a separation between the Kingdom of God and the kingdoms of the world, not swearing oaths, adult baptism (anabaptist = to baptize again), living a Christo-centric life, evangelizing, and reclaiming the first century church structures. [1] What has drawn me to this stream of Christianity is the emphasis on nonviolence and pacifism. Pacifism isn’t passivity. Walter Wink, a thinker much referenced by modern anabaptists, sees pacifism as “militant nonviolence articulated by Jesus”, or “the third way”. [2] For example, after explaining that resisting an evildoer (Matt. 5...
