Start a conversation about church life, theology, the vicar, evolution, family life, heaven & hell, social issues... whatever takes your fancy.

Be prepared to be challenged, disagreed with and, yes, downright annoyed!

Nevertheless do try to be a little diplomatic and set an example of true Christian charity.

(thus it will be safer for you to turn up on Sunday mornings)

Our Father

Dai Lute said...

Just Wonder if folks would like to comment on the following: " It is a betrayal of the 'Our Father' to pray 'My Father,' for the prayer is not only a declaration of a heavenlt parent, but it is a commitment to a new vision of family rooted in the providence and authority of our heavenly parent. We cannot have God as our father if we deny the sisterhood and brotherhood we share with the rest of God's children" This from "Becoming the Answer to Our Prayers - prayer for ordinary radicals" by Shane Claibourne and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove" refer www.ivpress.com/title/exc/3622-1.pdf
