A plain man's guide to the Christian faith in 13 parts
8: Three Ways of Being
God Gerald Priestland struggles with the Trinity - the Christian doctrine that is at the same time distinctly Three and indivisibly. One.
The BBC's Religious
Affairs Correspondent starts by comparing the Trinity to a venerable piano that nobody plays, but nobody dares throw away. Then he finds that many Christians still value it highly. Only they don't think of it as a piano, a committee or a mathematical formula. To them the Trinity is alive and well and extremely busy.
