Anatheism

I love new terminologies, so introducing for your delight and delectation "anatheism". More here: Faith After Religion: Christianity through the filter of atheists' critiques - By Kenneth Sheppard - Patrol Magazine And a quick characterisation: "Anatheism is also a kind of call to action. One way of characterizing the anatheist project might be as a kind of attentive listening. Listening not only to Scripture, but to the Stranger and the Other that is often called divine, but also listening to the many others with whom we share our lives. In the Christian tradition we might easily recognize this as a philosophical broadening of one part of the Christian message embodied in the Emmaus story."
It kind of looks like the approach that is formed by a recognition of the work of the Spirit beyond the boundaries of the church and as exemplified in the synthesis represented by aspects (at least) of the wisdom traditions in scripture....
