Are you a lonely self-starter or are you relationally brought into being? That is a question James Alison starts this talk. This is important is because when we're talking about God is going to make a huge difference whether you are lonely individuals who know something, this or that, or if you're relationally brought into being then you are a body that over time has been brought into being by people others than ourselves. We were nourished, fed, nurtured, given habits of gesture and were given the resources that our society give us and we became relatively successful navigator of all that.
