LOL. I was very surprised to find the word there. I thought you might find it interesting, and especially looking at its definition, it might help explain difficulty you might have communicating with others when they look up words that they do not recognize. I remembered Judy expressing some questions about what the word kenosis meant. If she read this definition of "partial relinquishing of divinity," she might have all the more reason to reject what you are trying to communicate.

Feel free to share your definition from such lexicons with us. I looked up many and found five different definitions and explanations that were far too lengthy to reproduce here. I could not determine which of them you would follow in your perspective. I gave the Encarta Dictionary definition without explanation partly in hopes that you might clarify the definition you follow should you differ from this popular definition. Peace be with you.
