Getting Ready for Session One

Here is something to jump-start our thinking for our first session next Tuesday...

The focus of this session is to try to think about a faithful life as more like a journey than a destination. The introduction to Living the Questions puts it this way:

People know that at its core, Christianity has something good to offer the human race. At the same time, many have a sense that they are alone in being a "thinking" Christian, and that "savaging" Christianity is a hopeless task...On any authentic spiritual journey, asking the hard questions is not only permitted, but necessary! What we learn along the way through difficulties and disequilibrium, mistakes and challenges, discoveries and unlearnings, is the the process is what's important. The unanswerable questions asked in the company of fellow seekers along the way become a central part of the process of the deepening quest, the broadening understanding, and the journey beyond our otherwise limited horizons.
