The Nashville cohort will again convenes at the Flying Saucer (in the game room) this Thursday from 11:30-1:00.
Our topic will be "The Bible in the Emerging Context" and here are few suggestions for preparation for this conversation:
1.) Come prepared to share your traditions approach to the Bible. We all come from different denominations. It will be great to share how each of our traditions appropriates and venerates the scriptures. Perhaps we should each also prepare to discuss our own personal relationship to the text.
2.) Read this short essay by Neil Livingston called How Can You Trust The Bible. He asks a lot of good questions and frames some of the emergening culture issues as we approach to the Bible.
As always comments and suggestions on this blog are welcome and encouraged to kick things off.
Blessings and Peace to you all and we'll see you there.
Shalom,
Dixon

There's another great article by N.T. Wright called How Can the Bible Be Authoritative?" that's well worth reading.
See you all Thursday.
Instead of talking about the Bible, can we discuss the blog about carpet cleaning, especially the one with stanley steamer (see our friend Anonymous' comment). I seem to have this nasty stain on my couch from a hot pocket pepperoni. This is way more important than discussing the Bible.
sorry i won't be there yet again. i have a clergy and sexual ethics seminar that i HAVE TO BE AT. bummer, but maybe a discussion on the bible will come up there and i'll relate it back to you all via the blog. shalom all.
