This week, PTS will celebrate its 228th Commencement (congratulations to the graduates!). Each year, the students of the chapel team, led by the Rev. Kendra Buckwalter Smith ’12\/’13, director of the Seminary’s Worship Program, design a final chapel service before saying goodbye to PTS\u2014the “Service of Thanksgiving”\u2014to mark the transition out of seminary and to reflect with gratitude on the growth, learning, connection, and formation that have happened during the previous chapter of life. This year, the team has chosen to focus on the theme of community\u2014specifically, the way in which community is an aspect of call. Sometimes, these worship leaders attest, \u201cwe cannot do ministry without the support of others. Sometimes, we\u2019ll lack the resources needed to do what we\u2019re called to do; thus, part of our call is to rely on others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some may chafe at the idea that relying on others, even to do our work and to fulfill our vocations, is not something that we need to \u201cgrow out of.\u201d Often, the image of strength, of competency, or of \u201chaving one\u2019s life together\u201d comes part and parcel with the notion of independence. However, some contemporary thinkers, ministers, practitioners, and theologians are pushing back on the idealization of independence and instead considering interdependence as the state in which individuals and communities not only can flourish, but actually find themselves. In this week\u2019s blog post, Dr. Daniel Frayer-Griggs, interim director of the Center for Writing and Learning Support at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, reflects on one such poem by Willie J. Jennings and notes that Jennings’ idea of “a deeper reality of entanglement” resonates with one of the oldest Christological affirmations in the New Testament.<\/p>\n

The Myth of Self-Sufficiency<\/h2>\n

In his challenging book <\/span><\/span><\/span>After Whiteness: An Education in Belonging<\/span><\/i>, Willie Jennings blends his analysis of the current state of theological education with <\/span>some of his own poetic compositions. I invite you <\/span>to reflect with me on <\/span>one of his untitled poems: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Could self-sufficiency
\nbe redeemed?
\nBut who would want
\nsuch a thing?
\nCertainly not one who asked
\nMary for life, or one
\nwho needed friends along
\nthe way of discipleship, or
\none who called on an Abba-God, or
\none who fell onto God\u2019s Spirit
\nlike a limp body
\nin need of support just to
\nface the morning sun
\nor one who said, \u201cThis is my body and my blood,
\neat me
\nbecause you need me in you.\u201d
\nCertainly not one who on a cross
\nkilled the illusion of
\nself-sufficiency.<\/p>\n

Throughout his work, Jennings invites us to imagine how theological education might look different\u2014non-authoritarian, anti-assimilationist, and as this poem suggests, less enamored by the myth of self-sufficiency. The alternative Jennings envisions is one of authentic belonging marked by mutual transformation and a recognition of our interdependence, or what he elsewhere calls \u201ca deeper reality of entanglement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Entanglement Incarnated<\/h2>\n

While Jennings\u2019s poem is untitled, \u201cA Deeper Reality of Entanglement\u201d could easily serve as its title.<\/p>\n

I am struck by the way he describes this \u201centanglement\u201d\u2014not as an idea or an ideal, not as a theory, but as a deep reality. And if this entanglement is a reality, it is our presumptions of self-sufficiency that are the illusion.<\/p>\n

More importantly, the poem suggests, this notion of entanglement is incarnational<\/em>. It is modeled on the life of the one who:<\/p>\n

though he existed in the form of God,
\ndid not regard equality with God
\nas something to be grasped,
\nbut emptied himself,
\ntaking the form of a slave,
\nassuming human likeness.
\nAnd being found in appearance as a human,
\nhe humbled himself
\nand became obedient to the point of death\u2014
\neven death on a cross.<\/p>\n

Therefore God exalted him even more highly<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>and gave him the name<\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>that is above every other name,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

so that at the name given to Jesus<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>every knee should bend,<\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>in heaven and on earth and under the earth,<\/span><\/span>
\nand every tongue should confess<\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>that Jesus Christ is Lord,<\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>to the glory of God the Father.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

(Philippians 2:6-11, NRSVUE)<\/p>\n

Jesus became one with us so that we might become one with him, illustrating the deeper reality of God\u2019s entanglement with our world: how the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.<\/p>\n

As we go about our work, may we remember how our mission is entangled with our neighborhood, our city, and our world. By Christ’s example, may we recognize the reality of our entanglement with one another and the deep reality of God’s entanglement with us and with the world.<\/p>\n
