Good question. Like usual...What would it look like? Good question. Like usual, we have an abundance of ideas (the WHAT), but a general lack of "getting there" (the HOW). <BR/><BR/>I've been thinking lately about how badly we really honor and make holy "the Sabbath." To remedy that, and to go along with some of the things Joe said, it would be neat to have a 24-hour time period every weekend -- maybe sundown Saturday to sundown Sunday -- where we were all free to gather and do many of the things he wrote... Namely, "cooking, cleaning up, distributing goods, planning, deciding, singing and praying and constantly reconciling differences thru cooperation in all these processes." You could come and spend a few hours here or there, it wouldn't necessarily be structured. You could still go to a worship service on Sunday morning.<BR/><BR/>I don't know, that was one thought. Of course, you need a place to do that, like a community center. Or a COMMUNE CENTER!<BR/><BR/>And we're right back to the communal living idea. :-)scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06407035513346395310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294512992029030179.post-46499053778003013472007-07-05T11:09:00.000-05:002007-07-05T11:09:00.000-05:00"How do we get there?" Well, initially, I thought..."How do we get there?" Well, initially, I thought the only way was to leave and start something new. But I'm wondering now (based on late-night Monday conversation) if it may actually be possible to develop the community we're seeking within the "walls" of a larger organization. Something bigger than a small group... a true "church-within-a-church" so to speak. I wonder what that would look like?Voidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11502458789493966125noreply@blogger.com
