The Challenge of a Christic Worldview

Christ must be the center of not only our world but our worldview. The man Jesus, and the truth of the Incarnation must tie everything together. It must help us make sense of every aspect of our experienced world: from the deepest emotional realizations to the most banal scientific fact, from the smallest swirling atom to the most immense spinning galaxy. Christ is what ties it all together. This quest must be one the whole church undertakes. We have to start the work of worldview building again, testifying to the truth we have experienced through that process. That is the witnessing work we need to be engaged in. 

And this cannot take place in the ivory tower away from the life of everyday people. It must be the work of the church, not only the seminary. It is the community's experience  we are trying to tie to the new growing scientific, ethical and philosophical awareness. The compartmentalization of theological worldview building to a select few academics is the great failure of modern mainline Protestantism.
