Theological quote of the week, from this week's lecture on the Trinity, wherein our lecturer went off on a minor rant about the inadequacy of most sermon illustrations of the Trinity ("actually they're mostly Modalism, which is Wicked"):

"What the doctrine of the Trinity is really saying is, forget about plugs. It is not about the bloody plugs!"

One way I like for talking about the trinity is that it demonstrates the essential nature of God-as-relational. (Norman Pittinger has a whole book on this.) One God, in relationship :) -- even within Godself.

Yeah; I've always found that the best way myself. Since if we define God as love, you can't have love without relationship...
