Riding the Carousel with God

Certainly, I'm not the first person to
compare life with a carousel. We've all gone "round and
round," circumnavigating the light of reality, as we
understand it, in the passing prisms of our lives. We've had
our "ups and downs," too. God also rides my carousel. One
never rides alone, you know. But God hasn't tamed me yet.
I'm a feral theologian. My carousel reflects the life of a
man who intended to become a Baptist pastor, only to
discover the door to ordination was barred. While searching
for freedom of thought, he became an Anglican priest, but
found himself entering a deep depression that led to total
rejection by his bishop. Alienated twice, what happened
after that is the rest of his story In lieu of traditional
chapters, I have interjected essays that reveal the
influence of religion and theology in my life, and
vice-versa. Therein lies an amalgam of convoluted and
eccentric thought that, I hope, includes some measurable
creativity. With what amounts to theological innovation as
my only pitch for consideration, I hope my unorthodoxies
will promote thought and reflection on behalf of my readers.
