Priests in lab coats
Gavin ended his sermon tonight with this quote from a Hasidic rabbi:
Wisdom lives in the future, and from there it speaks to us. There is no such thing as wisdom of the past. Wisdom preceded the world and wisdom is its destiny. With each passing moment, wisdom becomes younger as we come closer to the time when it is born and breathes the air of day. Our ancient mothers and fathers, the sages, all those from whom we learn wisdom – they are not guardians of the past. They are messengers of the future.

‘wisdom is its destiny’???
Tim, it is the mirror statement of “Wisdom preceded the world”. The rabbi is speaking eschtalogically.
Think of the personification of wisdom in, for instance, Proverbs 1:20-33, or 8:22-30.
And God’s wisdom, which we recognise as Jesus, will bring the world to its destiny. He is the Alpha and Omega.
Man, that Atlas “School” sounds cool. Fits some kind of vision in the back of my head. I’m a bit disillusioned with typical schools, not to mention typical homeschooling. How does it fit in amongst your other links, Matt?
There is no thread.
I wasn’t aware links had to be relative to eachother. What a curious animal the interweb is!
Aaron, you could be the feast coordinator at Atlas.
