We believe in becoming. All of our spiritual practice is about becoming. All creation is in the process of becoming and all creation is connected ~ as such there is a dynamic nature to life. Relationships fundamentally shape and change us. Relationship is at the core of who God is and at the core of who we are.

In Philippians chapter 2 we can see that Jesus' relationship in the trinity and with creation summoned him to let go of his privilege and become human. God becoming human was a change that resulted from being in relationship. All theology comes from relationship. Realizing that relationship fundamentally shapes and transforms those who are in relationship means that our relational theology makes space for God to change or at the very least for our understanding of God to change and develop and mature overtime.

Dogma is too often used as an exclusionary tool. One that those in power use to control others. When taken in conversation with our intersectional and trinitarian theology we choose to hold our beliefs loosely realizing that many of those beliefs have been formed in a particular context that helps us see some things but not see other things. As we live in dialogue with each other and honor the real experiences of others we have empathy and love. Fear leads us to hold tight but love and trust invite us to let go.
