Metanoia has a Greek origin and means "profound shift of mind"

paradigm shift. It was repeatedly used by Paul to refer to his own<br>

in my little duden - German

it says (in my translation):<br><br>
metanoia: inner

so I was wondering a bit about the connection with OS</blockquote><br>
The problem, I think, lies not with "metanoia" -- which in
Koine Greek (New Testament Greek) literally means " a turning
around" -- a very major turn around -- as in transformation. When
the New Testament was translated into English (and I am sure German) it
came out "repentance." Which is probably correct, but limited.
Anyhow the association works for me. And who knows -- Open Space may be
good for Sin too.<br><br>
