While as a free church Baptist from the States, I don't know much about the CofE, I do know about tradition. To decide to go off the map and do something very different from tradition is, I think, both brave and much needed. There are so many who need to hear and who will not hear it in an inherited church.<br /><br />I shall pray for you all.Laurahttp://www.whointheworldarewe.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6406518487078634071.post-45988515824567551662009-07-22T11:23:05.829-07:002009-07-22T11:23:05.829-07:00I finished it a few days ago.

An integrated apporach is necessary here - we probably need to cultivate an approach that assumes we are always leading others - always shepherds. We are always therefore in need of being led by God - a sheep, because 'apart from me you can do nothing'.Mark Careyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15523122162168534429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6406518487078634071.post-73058940300690421902008-02-17T00:27:00.000-08:002008-02-17T00:27:00.000-08:00I find that comment about being both a shepherd an...I find that comment about being both a shepherd and a sheep interesting and challenging. Interesting because at their extreme, both roles seem to be irreconcilable; a challenge because I would prefer to be either one or the other, depending on context and where I see myself in certain situations. This is certainly worth musing on! Am I a shepherd when leading others, and a sheep when following Jesus? This distinctive division is easier to live with, for me, at least, though I think a more integrated approach is what you are hinting at.

Commitment to others, and in our Harrogate context, if you already have a happy and/or busy family, or deep friendships, to people outside of these 'groups', seems to be a casualty of our times.Jackie- Andy Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05813364453659442269noreply@blogger.com
