I have been working with Fr. Dalgleish on the idea of sanctified imagination, and am focusing on development of an imaginative contemplation of our faith. As a related topic, I am also investigating the idea of a theology of desire, in my blog of that name. The two are closely connected. I've added your blog to my daily reading list, and hope that you will continue your exploration of how we can go beyond fantasy fiction and more fully experience the kingdom here and now. Pax Christi, Eva David Hello RG,

Thanks for these insightful and very well written articles! I have been working with Fr. Dalgleish on the idea of sanctified imagination, and am focusing on development of an imaginative contemplation of our faith. As a related topic, I am also investigating the idea of a theology of desire, in my blog of that name. The two are closely connected.

I’ve added your blog to my daily reading list, and hope that you will continue your exploration of how we can go beyond fantasy fiction and more fully experience the kingdom here and now.

Pax Christi,

Eva David

Father, I'd be glad to read your thoughts. I have been of a similar mind regarding imagination - we are created in the image of the Creator, and because of that I have been really saddened to see peers who say they have no creativity at all (and that schooling doesn't support it). Reading The Everlasting Man by Chesterton also really brought that to the fore. John Granger also writes about MacDonald every now and then, and I think I should look into his works.

Robert Dalgleish Tue, 27 Jan 2009 20:06:11 +0000 http://blog.onefreegarden.com/?p=49#comment-29 I deeply appreciate your musings. I too am intrigued by God's gift to us of our imaginations. George MacDonald wrote in his little book "A Dish of Orts" that the imagination is the "imago Dei" in us. Our imaginations are made in the image and likeness of the imagination of God. I have done some thinking on this and you can review these musings at www.christianimagination.org. I would love to hear your reactions to them. God Bless! Robert+ I deeply appreciate your musings.

I love the variety - everything from deep thoughts to silly pictures of dogs and toddlers. I particularly like this post, especially the last paragraph, which is very well-phrased. I look forward to more!! :D I’ve read all your posts so far, and they’re all fantastic! I love the variety – everything from deep thoughts to silly pictures of dogs and toddlers.
