Jo, was the light at Mount Tabor created or uncreated in your understanding? It seems to me that we are fast approaching a point in this discussion where differing understandings of grace/divine energies is becoming important. It is clear that both Latin and Orthodox theology have well developed theologies of grace. It appears to me that the Protestants have a rather less developed conception. Might it not be time to start defining our terms a bit more precisely since I think we are reaching a point where we are using the same word, grace, to describe rather different concepts.

I won't be around much this weekend...still in the process of opening up the cottage and I've a problem with the water system (as well as a failed hot water heater element) which will take up a good deal of time.

NOOOOO!!!! Don't ask me that! Anything but that! I am finding that the theology of grace is much more complicated than my pea brain can handle right now. I need more time to get a working knowledge of this so that I can type without having to go back to books and paste and clip. That's not my style. If I can't explain something in my own words, than I need to study more. I would be interested to hear your take, however, knowing that I still don't quite have the knowledge that I would like to have from the Latin side.
