"Map Is Not Territory"

12Nov
“The map is not the territory.” This insight of Alfred Korzybski’s, published in 1933, is a foundational principle helping us to distinguish our models of reality from reality itself.
What happens when the territory goes beyond the margins of our maps?
That’s where we are living now in the history of the Church: uncharted territory.
The old maps and models don’t conform to the current contexts we face. We must adapt.
Adapting is sometimes uncomfortable, often uncertain, not infrequently messy, and, in our case, imperative.
On Sunday, Lewis and Clark will meet the parable of the talents. Come hear how that collision works out.
I look forward to seeing you Sunday in person or online.
