Liminal Space

Liminal space is the place of inbetweenness, of insecurity. Liminal space is emptiness and nowhere, it is uncertainty and chaos,it is a place of discomfort and unrest.Liminality is a place of dying and rebirth, of metamorphosis, the place where the caterpillar spins its cocoon and disappears from view.Nothing good or creative emerges from business as usual. Much of the work of God is to get people into liminal space and to keep them there long enough so they can learn something essential.
This is the invitation of God, to move
- from comfort to insecurity
- from what we know to what we have yet to discover
- from what we are good at to what we might fail at
- from safety to a place of risk
