pneumanaut
n.— «In a world dominated by the power found in material things, Christians must reclaim the reality and power of the spirit, renowned futurist Leonard Sweet said in twin lectures yesterday and today here. He even coined a new word for doing so…: “pneumanauts”—from the Greek words for “spirit” or “wind” and “travelers.” “…In a world desperate for spiritual leadership, Christians must be pneumanauts, ‘sailors on the Spirit,’” he insisted.» —“From PCUSA News Leonard Sweet Cats, Toasters, Vomit and Priest Prophets” St. Casserole Feb. 9, 2005.
