    Just found an interesting article describing and defending the recent syncretic conceptualization of Christianity in Aboriginal Australia called Rainbow Spirit Theology.

    (5) Rainbow Spirit and The Cosmic Christ | Philip Cox - Academia.edu

    To sum up the essay, the aboriginal conception of deity, as pervasive in the land and cosmic in scope, was lost through the narrow confines of Christianity bound by limited storyline and text. i.e. the type of Christianity brought by missionaries of the last 200 years. IMO, what is being endorsed is, a unique twist but, essentially a rediscovery of ancient forms of Christianity. While Eastern Churches and Catholic sects like the Franciscans retain some of this, the Catholic and European Protestant in general have distilled the spiritual into a catechism of dogma.
