		Geering suggests that New Zealand society remains firmly grounded in Christian values, even though church attendance has declined steeply, and sees the ongoing struggle against prejudice and exclusion in society as a whole as the work of the Churches today.
		Geering insisted that the Church must “stop treating the secular world as something to be to be fought and conquered”, instead engaging with secular values of “justice and fairness and concern for one another”.
		Lloyd Geering, who gained an MA (Hons) from Otago in 1939 before studying divinity at the Knox Theological College, touched off a theological storm during the 1960s when he was principal of the college.

	The Ground of Faith > November 2005 > On the Critique of Christianity without God
		I am confident that Geering himself would unhesitantingly agree with us both on this point, for he always welcomes and encourages critical reactions to his own writings, and he would hate to think any of his writings were to be “taken as gospel”.
		I take Geering’s point to be that the gradual abandonment, or playing down, of the doctrine of the trinity, especially in modern times, has tended to be in the direction of panentheism at the cost of transcendence, and that the seeds of this trend can be traced to the doctrine of the incarnation.
		I see Lloyd Geering as having integrity in that he is faithful to his philosophy, in the light of which he feels entitled to ignore data which conflicts with it.

		Geering contends that we are slowly becoming aware of the fact that we all share a common destiny even though our actions do not yet show any widespread consciousness of this fact as we continue to battle each other and treat the earth with disregard.
		Geering is a competent outfitter as he guides us on a journey that starts at the headwaters of our Judaic-Christian heritage, and ends at the multi-denominational delta of Christian Relativism that he refers to elsewhere as The Accumulated Christian Position.
		Lloyd Geering observes that we have come not only to the end of the millennium, but to the end of Christendom, the dissolution of Christian orthodoxy, the failure of modernism, and the end of old mythic certainties.

	The Religion Report: 27 October 2004 - Radical Christian Theologian Lloyd Geering on “secular”
		Lloyd Geering: Yes, the United Party is a strange mixture actually, from original United Party which was an offshoot of the Labour movement, and a Christian Democrat party, which was definitely conservative Christianity, and they united together.
		Lloyd Geering: Throughout the Western world and in particular in America, the conservative religious forces have tried to revive Christian values by fastening on the importance of the family, and I’ve got a lot of sympathy really, because the stronger the family is, the better it is for society.
		Lloyd Geering: Well the question of homosexuality is the latest in a series of things that have emerged since the 19th century in which the conservative part of the church finds it difficult to accept it and the liberal or radical part of the church accepts it.

		Geering is a New Zealander among the two hundred mainly American scholars associated with the Jesus Seminar since its founding in 1985.
		Geering contends that the stone that the builders rejected--the relatively nontheistic wisdom stream of Bible books such as Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Jesus' parables--underrated by both Judaism and Christianity, deserves to become the chief cornerstone of the intellectual/emotional edifice of the future.
		Geering reminds us, "It is less than 200 years since nearly everyone in the Western world believed the earth was only 6000 years old and that we were all descended from...

		Lloyd Geering: Oh yes, well you see that greatly upset a lot of people and I think you’re on to a point there when you say that the media still treat Christianity in the way it used to be understood, and assume that it cannot be anything else than that.
		Lloyd Geering: I don’t relate to Jesus in the traditional sense as being the saviour of the world, or the divine Son of God.
		Lloyd Geering: Undoubtedly it’s a false one, and I deplore the fact that the mainline churches regard the secular world as an enemy to be fought, because they’ve still got a lot to give to the secular world.

		Geering is implying that this is the culmination, presumably some time in the 2nd century, of early Christian elevation of a human man to Godhead.
		Geering makes the increasingly common claim that the early “Jewish-Christians”, including Peter and James, still saw Jesus with Jewish eyes, that they regarded him as Messiah but that he “was not himself divine.” But I would maintain that there is no support for this view in the early record.
		Geering’s article which are dubiously supported, and I would say that to draw conclusions, as he does, based on a record which in many cases states or implies the opposite of those conclusions, needs calling attention to.

		Geering contends that this is not only possible but that Christianity, since its very origins, was moving towards the rejection of theism, and that in our time not only it is possible to conceive of non-theistic Christianity, but that Christianity should become so.
		Geering argues that the doctrines of the Trinity and Incarnation form the basis for the Christian departure from theism.
		Geering's argument of how the doctrines of the Incarnation and the Trinity spelled the beginning of the end of theism is systematic, scholarly and extremely wide-ranging.

		I had not realised that that marvellous human-being Professor Lloyd Geering is 86 years old this year.

		It fascinates me that Professor Geering who would have been so well versed in Biblical study (and comparative religious studies to wit) and had " everything to lose "as well as possible family estrangement.

		I doubt there is a single one of these that Geering could affirm, unless he redefines each word beyond recognition.
