progress

Last night saw another great evening at the pub. Deep and big discussions and some really challenging subjects.

Hot on my agenda was a more extensive conversation on some of the thoughts I posted here. We talked through how we are vulnerable to setting up and packaging Christianity as another commodity that someone some where might choose to ‘buy’. We focus on trying to explain how all the bad stuff can vanish away while we really should be working out how to come along side and live as equals with others.

Perfectly timed, Kathy Escobar posted this beautiful piece on friendship. She has followed it up with part 2.

Essential reading, and as we try to work out where we are heading next*, I think these thoughts of Kathy’s are thoughts we need to work hard to keep at the forefront of our ideas.

*where next… I think we might be moving in the neo-monastic direction, thinking through things like a daily rule and so on, but more of that another time.
