Ah, the mystery, and perhaps dilemma, of ‘trinity’.

What words do we use to describe what is indescribable?  For some, there will be an insistence to strive for explanation — three parts of a whole egg; a three-legged stool.  For others, the concept represents an unsuccessful human attempt to make meaning out of mystery.  For others, it really doesn’t matter.

Whatever we think or believe about the Trinity, Trinity Sunday rolls around each year.  Here are some worship resources to ponder and adapt for your situation.
