Parables are a type of disturbing dis-course that have the ability to knock us off course. They quietly confront us with disturbing truths that we try to avoid and have a nasty habit of revealing what we would prefer to keep hidden.
At turns funny, poignant, irreverent and shocking, they cut into us with surgical precision, reaching deep into the hidden recesses of our soul, operating on those parts of our being that more direct speech can't touch.
Today, as much as ever, we need parables that can speak to the contemporary moment, challenge our orthodoxies and help to bring healing.
This is the first of a three part series that will explore how to write parables. Sign up to Patreon for the rest in the series.
