Thought for the Week: The idea of God

G Gordon Steel reflects on the idea of God

by G Gordon Steel 7th February 2014

Among Friends there are two common ways of looking at the idea of God. First, as an eternal being or presence that permeates the universe – a being or presence that is beyond human comprehension and, yet, fundamentally real. Second, a more specific belief in which God has a role in human affairs and human lives, perhaps (but not necessarily) mediated through the person of Jesus Christ.
