4D Theology #1 - "Sin is Much Bigger Than Guilt"

     Do you know who's image is on the front of a $100 bill? Lots of folks do. How about the back? You probably didn't do as well on that one. It's odd, because the back of the $100 bill is more colorful and the numbers are bigger. So, why don't we know? Most likely because we're comfortable knowing just the front.
     For many of us in the faith community—perhaps most—we tend to take the same approach to our understanding of faith and its practice. We end up trying to make a 2-dimensional faith provide understanding and meaning in a 3-dimensional world.
     In this episode, building on the One Story idea of the previous episodes, Fran Sciacca contends that we need to reexamine our understanding of some of the key "Story words" that our faith is built upon. In this first of a series, Fran takes to the flip-side of our word, "sin," in an attempt to help us better understand the One Story of the One God, and our role in it.
