The "Simple Church" book seems to settle on a disciple-forming process with three basic elements: Love God, Love Others, Serve the World. Does that work for us?
I wondered about this because education is so much a part of what we do at Saint Nicholas, yet it isn't explicitly mentioned in these three steps. What about, "Love God, Love Others, Teach the People, Serve the World"?

Kathy Dangin had this great idea ...
During the Sponsors meeting yesterday, Kathy Dangin commented that she's been reading "Simple Church" getting ready for the Leadership Retreat on Feb. 2nd (from 9:30 to 3:30) and she wished that we had a place where we could post questions and comments. I promised that I'd ask Dave Kitzmiller if we could do something on our website. In the meantime, since I fancy myself a bit of a technophile and haven't ever created a blog, I thought I'd give it a try.
Here's my thinking. If you have a question or a concern or just an observation on the "Simple Church" book, on how insights from it could (or couldn't!) be applied to the context of Saint Nicholas or anything else about our ten-year planning or discipleship, write it down here.
We can all look at it and respond. Please be kind -- this is new to all of us (both the blogging and the 10-year planning.)
Peace,
Pr. Greg
