Panentheism.....

I promised you I'd get back to you on this topic. I read your post with the quote from Wikipedia and after thought.... that fits.... with native teachings, Christian teachings..... then I read the rest of the link.......

</font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
North American Indians were and still are largely panentheistic, conceiving of God (or the Sacred Other as George Tinker, a member of the Osage Nation, describes the Deep Mystery which creates and sustains all Creation in his book Spirit and Resistance: Political Theology and American Indian Liberation) as both immanent in Creation and transcendent from it. An exception is the Cherokee who were monotheistic.[citation needed] Most South American peoples were largely panentheistic as well (as were ancient South East Asian cultures).[citation needed] The Central American empires of the Mayas, Aztecs as well as the South American Incans (Tahuatinsuyu) were actually polytheistic and had very strong male deities.

Lots of different isms..... boggles my mind trying to keep the labels straight.

Not all Christians are panentheists I presume? ..... is Chrisitianity considered monotheistic or just theistic..... lol.
