The Chaplain's Corner The Chaplain's Corner Autumn arrives, daylight diminishes, temperatures cool, greens become yellows, oranges and reds. As Argentinian vocalist Mercedes Sosa sings, "todo cambia" - everything changes.Nature bears witness to the immutable fact that every living thing must change - or die. The questions, therefore, are not whether to change, but how; and how to navigate successfully the changes beyond our control. Faith, too, if it is to remain a vigorous thing, must change. If faith is a system of meaning-making, as I believe it is, then the manner in which I construed reality when I was in middle school is no longer adequate for me as an adult. It must change, grow and mature. The capacity by which we manage such change is imagination. Is my imagination vibrant enough to enable me to disassemble, recompose and reconstruct the way I make meaning of my own life, the world and God? Every living thing must change– or die. Perhaps the greatest gift and task of a liberal education is the stimulation and enlargement of the capacity to imagine. |
