{Thee-in-One?}[20th November 1989]

And yet* within a few pages – p[age] 38** – Swanson writes of the Trinity: ‘No one while praying experiences three persons.’ I don’t think I have ever experienced three persons at once (Concurrent Trinity?) but I have certainly experienced ‘persons’ at different times (Consecutive Trinity?), and I have a strong impression that he excludes both these experiences: ‘The union of mind and will between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is so complete that we experience them as one’ (p[age] 38).**

My impression is that the experience of each of the three corresponds to a different requirement of the Human Individual.***
