Cartoon on the PCUSA and the Trinity

This cartoon, originally found here, is pretty funny, and a little sad.

The PC(USA), at its recent General Assembly, approved a paper called, "The Trinity: God's Love Overflowing." Read about it here. The paper itself is here.

While trying to be sensitive to inclusive language, I am more than a little wary of changes in trinitarian formulations, especially ones that are functional (Creator, Redeemer, Sustainer), rather than the traditionally relational one (Father, Son, Holy Spirit).

And no, we are not talking about Trinity from "The Matrix" trilogy. I wonder how many teenagers, when they hear of "Trinity", think of "The Matrix."

Don't mind me, I'm just living in a postmodern world. Ain't it grand?
