the conversations:

- week 3: the matrix: symbols and praxis
- week 2: the matrix: story and questions
- week 1: what is the goal of this class/conversation/discussion? why?
This page is essentially the starting point and central “repository” for information that we will generate as we begin this exercise in gaining a more genuine Christian worldview, understanding what this thing called the kingdom is and our role in it.
This discussion will trace this idea of the kingdom of God through the history of the Christian Church starting pre-Church in the exile and inter-testamental period leading up to Jesus and the Age of the Apostles, and will follow through right up to where we find ourselves today. We plan to unpack this idea of the story of Christian History through a matrix of:
story
symbol
questions
practice
...which you'll understand more as you come along with us...
Below you will find links to each week of our discussion (most recent weeks should be located here at the top).
Each week we’d like to include these common sections:
- the audio from our discussion
- the presentation from our discussion
- comments and discussion from our “participants” about that weeks topic(s)
- a few [hopefullly] provocative questions related to the topic
- resource material and outside material links on the web
- anything else you’d like to see here?????
