In my high school years, I began to have theological questions, and the answers given by my Presbyterian church just didn’t seem sufficient to me. After graduating from high school, I drifted away from church and became a spiritual seeker. I was exposed to more expansive ideas of God. In a philosophy class in college, I learned St. Anselm’s definition of God as “that than which nothing greater can be conceived,” which resonated with me. Then someone challenged me to wonder if God could be bigger than an individual being who created the universe, by suggesting that perhaps God is the entirety of the universe. As I explored a series of evolving concepts of the divine, I eventually came to the conclusion that God is too big and complex for humans to completely comprehend. This realization gave me permission to not have to figure it all out, which, in turn, led to my embrace of (and reverence for) Awe, Wonder, and Mystery. This quote by Rev. Marilyn Sewell captures this sentiment beautifully: "The truth that I embrace today may not be the truth I embrace tomorrow. Revelation is not static, but is ever unfolding. More and more will be revealed. Our part is simply to be open, and thirsty, thirsty for the truth that would be ours – but just for the time being. Such a stance keeps us humble – and awake. When we venture into the Mystery, we are entering the ground of the infinite with the powers of a finite mind. An awe-filled agnosticism is perhaps the better part of wisdom."
