During our last Tuesday night dinner we began exploring the questions from the Brian McLaren book A New Kind of Christianity. In this book he discusses 10 questions that are transforming the Christian faith. So, along with Brian we began to ask: “What is the overarching story of the Bible?” This collage mandala, is our first wrestlings with this question.

Eco-Justice Worship
Sat, Jan 21, at 5pm
back building, Crescent Hill Presbyterian Church

We will gather as a community of Christians from all backgrounds, as seekers of global justice, as lovers of the world, and/or as advocates for earth’s healing. This month’s worship theme is “Waters of Birthing;” we will explore the issue of water from a biblical, theological, and environmental lens.

The Eco-Justice Worship Collective (“creating dynamic, ecumenical, inclusive worship space to engage in eco-justice concerns”) is a new initiative of the Presbytery of Mid-Kentucky’s Ecclesia Project and is supported by CHPC. For questions or information, please contact Rebecca at r_barnesdavies@yahoo.com or see http://ecojusticeworship.wordpress.com.”

The afternoon will engage campus leaders from various faith backgrounds in the spiritual call to social justice through faith-sharing, discussion and structured reflection. We will meet in the PEACC Office. Refreshments will be served. Kinesis has been invited to nominate a student to attend.

Last fall something miraculous happened when we started hosting Kinesis dinners at our house every month. In the process of fitting everyone into our apartment, gathering around table, playing games and eating some delicious desserts – we became church. In 2012, I would like to invite you into a larger experiment in hospitality. I would like to invite you to help create weekly dinners for young adults at Fourth Presbyterian Church.

Some of us recently heard the author Sara Miles speak at the Montreat College Conference. She said something to the effect of:

You should not do good things just because you feel obligated. If you are following the gospel because you are suppose to, then you are better off staying home. However if you feel called to live out some radical hospitality, then do it – and just see what happens.
