Been thinking about this anniversary of the re-formation, or deeper formation which began from multiple sources back then, but didn’t seem to be finished.
I had a dream once, of what was happening to the actual Body during the reformation, and it kept going up through the revivals and waves of the Spirit up through the 20th C…any place The Spirit was allowed to enter into the hearts of His actual People. It came through music, poetry, art, and fresh revealed theology.
What started as dream and whisper amplified to a global change of sight. It was a stream with many tributaries, and all of culture and society were affected by it—both its lights and shadows. It appears we are in a new type of reformation spiritually now.
Fun thinking about historical hinges or axial moments, especially when they come from true religious reforms, in all their broken cadences. A tree is always known by its long term fruit.
When I went to Jan Hus’ chapel where he preached in Praha, i started to sense the spiritual vision which was trying to download and incarnate through those in that season on earth. It was actually radical in terms of personal transformation and societal!
Perhaps outside our human structures, He was offering a deeper formation of his Life in us. And this historical marker was just the first step towards us becoming more fully human in Him!
