The Spirit is asking us to surrender our own personal agendas as he calls us once more to metanoia and to mission. |
This is the reason it is a place of metanoia, of turning around. |
This we celebrate in baptism, by the metanoia ritualized in our renunciations and affirmations, our promises, and our commitment to the church's faith. |
The Greek metanoia is a widely honored biblical way to speak of conversion, but metamorphe constitutes a more profound change that has eschatological significance. |
I see no way out of all this except as one of us after another reaches the metanoia, the new point of view as regards God. |
It expresses itself in a continuing metanoia and in the acceptance of redemptive suffering. |
