- Title
‘This is love's prerogative, to give, and give, and give’: Trinitarian Kenosis as a Model of Ministry.
- Authors
Gordon, James
- Abstract
This essay explores kenosis as a fruitful theological category. If God is revealed in Jesus, and God is love, and God's love is Christ-like, then kenosis is a feature of the eternal communion of the Triune God. Using biblical and theological exegesis, and building on several stories, the essay examines Trinitarian, ecclesial and pastoral implications discernible when such kenotic love is applied constructively to key areas of human, social and ecclesial experience. Such areas as welcome and hospitality, reconciliation and peace-making, pastoral care and presence, generosity and gift, community and disability are illumined by the essay.
