Continuing Conversations

At church yesterday, I was speaking with someone who used to come regularly to church and has chosen to go elsewhere for a fairly long period of time. This particularly interests me as she was a younger member of our congregation. She explained to me that, though she is very attached to the liberal theology of our church, she finds it frustrating that no one seems to talk about God or Jesus except when they are in the sanctuary. Very few conversations occur after the service or in passing that have much to do with spirituality, beliefs, faith, or whatever.

So, of course, I want to see what might be done. I mentioned about this blog and that I was trying to use it to explore spirituality and talk about faith. I know that it is not always the topic at hand, but I try to keep that in mind whenever I post. All the same, this is not a "real time" conversation. So.....

I wondered about a continuing session, after the service, to further explore the topic of the Sunday service. If the Sunday service topic doesn't seem to drive it, then whatever one wanted to bring up. I could have coffee, tea, juice, etc. in the room and the room is designed to be comfortable and relaxing. I might be a way to continue exploration and nurture the need that was expressed.

Is there anyone else who might be interested? If you don't want to comment here, try my email: youth@knoxunited.ab.ca or dmoulton@knoxunited.ab.ca to express your interest or to ask questions.
