Finding God outside Church

A group of us discussed the forthcoming theme last Thursday and came up with some areas to look at and some challenges. All of this is designed to help up to recognise 'thin places' - times where the barrier between this life and the spiritual realm becomes thin and permeable. Here are the areas we'll investigate in the coming weeks:

17 September :: Finding God outside Church - in the mundane
1 October :: Finding God outside Church - in nature
15 October :: Finding God outside Church - in the arts
29 October :: Art project
5 November :: Finding God outside Church - in relationships
19 November :: Finding God outside Church - in the poor
3 December :: Finding God outside Church - in rites of passage
17 December :: Celebration party

We also came up with four challenges/homework tasks/assignments. These are optional, of course, but highly recommended! (I think we'll scrap the idea of collating the work into a book, too few people in the group seem up to that.)

Tim - sorry, in updating this I have deleted your comment about Dave Tomlinson's book Running in to God. We'll refer to that throughout, no doubt.
