Diana Butler Bass - A Horizontal Church for a Horizontal Spirituality (N125)

The question 'who is God?' used to be the starting point for religious reflection, but increasingly spiritual seekers are concerning themselves with the question 'where is God?'. We ask historian, religious commentator and author of Grounded: Finding God in the World, Diana Butler Bass, about her faith journey and how her shift from a vertical to a horizontal theology dramatically reshaped her faith and understanding of Church.

"I've relocated the idea of transcendence to the horizon. Rather than thinking of God's transcendence as up, I've started thinking of God's transcendence as just beyond our sight lines.” - Diana Butler Bass

Interview starts at 6m 16s
