Denominations as bulkheads

I had a thought this morning over breakfast that I've been mulling over through the course of the day.  As this is the place where I like to flesh out new ideas I thought I'd share it here first.

I've long held the belief that denominations in the Church are a provision from God for her protection.  In as much as denominations divide the church, they provide a covering of authority, accountability, a framework for cashflow and a system to ensure faithful stewardship of the Lord's resources.  But there has to be more... and it is this desire for a deeper understanding that led me to my “thought” this morning.

On Humanity

This Canada Day weekend Andrea and I are continuing our journey through the new Battlestar Galactica series. This evening we finished season two. What's interesting for me as I watch is to observe a common theme that spans other movies and TV shows beyond BG. I'm talking about commentary on the "human condition", about the exploration of what it means to be human.
