Words That Made Me Think – 5

I’m in a DMiss seminar out at Fuller for a bit. Over the week, I’m going to post some quotes that have stirred my brain a bit…

5. “The book was possibly the beginning of an age of the individuality. You know longer needed the teacher or schools. You had the author’s knowledge or his story in your hands.”

This could possibly be true. I can see it.

But the Global Information Culture is bringing the connection back. We want to discuss with others (blogs, Facebook, Twitter, various academic and writing sites).

What do you think?
Are you actively engaged in the/a conversation?
If you are a pastor or leader, do you leverage your knowledge, influence, ability to counsel online?
Are there dangers in this sharing/interactivity?

Thoughts…

Words That Made Me Think – 4

I’m in a DMiss seminar out at Fuller for a bit. Over the week, I’m going to post some quotes that have stirred my brain a bit (and after maybe two days of not bringing peace but a sword)…

4. “In our communities does one person hold all of the story/ies of God? Is the community invited in to add, edit, critique and create from it?”

Huge Coffee Discussion Here! A world of possibilities for a community that is willing to embrace and be the story.

Two important distinctives for me:

*Teaching (the communal story) must be grounded in relationships

*Teaching (the communal story) must be grounded in the communities context.

Please bat this one around…
