Springfield Church

In the first session we considered how human beings' relationship with their universe, their understanding of what Reality is and how they relate to God, has not always been the same. We explored the transition from pre-Modern, to Modern and PostModern ways of understanding these relationships, which roughly show a transition from the human being understanding herself as a spiritual being deeply connected with a vast, enchanted reality surrounding her - and accessible through prayer and life's daily round - to a far more contemporary understanding of the individual as an isolated being at the centre of a disenchanted world.
