Here are some brainstorming notes from the sessions held on 18 & 23 April 2006. Feel free to add your own thoughts in the comments section.
Myths – ‘alive’ or ‘dead’?
What God can’t cope with – irresponsibility
“Hebrew” word plays used by Spong and other liberals
“dominion” equates to responsibility
– I take responsibility but seek guidance for the right way
= finding a middle of seeking the divine – about being truly and fully responsible.
- this is all huge leaps of interpretation!!?
Forgiveness – cheap?
Must have consequences?
Coming from a positive place
Guilt/sin very pervasive in our culture – the “young people” so hung up? Probably…!
It is about trust & rebuilding trust
Being free and dealing with our egos
Guilt a healthy sign?
Or not a good place to start:
Traps you
Weakens
Not about the right things or the important things
Do I have to forgive God for making me the way I am?
Being ‘good’ – what is that?
About being whole
Optimal sets of relationships
Repentance is a corrective mechanism
Public acknowledgement of our mistakes and doing something about it
Sense of grace = place of harmony = where I want to be
Creativeness keeps on going – we all participate in this
Openness of creativity – letting things grow in a “looser” way
