Becoming "Bluetooth Christians"

​Becoming "Bluetooth Christians"

by Tammy Townsend Denny, TI Executive Director

Last week in Sacred Touchstones, we shared "What would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?" along with Pope Francis’ March 5, 2017 Angelus where he reflected on the same thing.

This week I would like for us to contemplate becoming “Bluetooth Christians” by connecting wirelessly and hands-free to God all day, every day. “Bluetooth Christians” is a term used by dr. timone davis* in a reflection on the Gospel readings from Sunday, September 4. *(“dr. davis uses lowercase letters in the spelling of her name to indicate her willingness to embody the creedal assertion in John 3:30 in her everyday living”).

dr. davis is a cradle Catholic who formerly served in the Reclaiming Christ in Life Young Adult Ministry with the Archdiocese of Chicago. She is currently an assistant professor at the Institute of Pastoral Studies at Loyola University Chicago where I am working on my Master of Divinity degree.

I hope you find some inspiration in “Bluetooth Christianity.”
