The Significance of Liminality, with Phil Wyman
Listen to this episode
Summary
The book Crossing Thresholds explores liminality, the crossing of thresholds, and says that "liminal reality can offer people of faith and especially those in leadership positions a hermeneutical key and a pastoral method." But what is this liminal reality, how can it be both dangerous and a place for positive transformation, how does it relate to the bounded set of church structures, and how can liminality transform the American church? Phil Wyman helps us explore these questions. Phil is former pastor of The Gathering in Salem, and he has years of experience in liminality with Witches, Pagans, festival-goers and others.

Take a look at Crossing Thresholds: A Practical Theology of Liminality by Timothy Carson, Rosy Fairhurst, Nigel Rooms, and Lisa R. Withrow.
