The folks entrusted to run this community had to put weight on these two issues...and what better weight to use than, "Hey, I didn't say it, God said it!" In my mind, that is 99% of the reason for the sexual prohibitions in Leviticus...cuz if it ain't makin' babies, it ain't sustaining the community.<BR/><BR/>But in this day and age of exploding populations and shrinking resources, I can't believe God is too concerned about baby making for survivability any more.Kirkepiscatoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02651684515435040529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-71672533038917160732009-01-16T11:41:00.000-05:002009-01-16T11:41:00.000-05:00They went through all the effort to pose the pictu...They went through all the effort to pose the picture and they couldn't quite get it in focus.

I found the time I spent with them at their convention to be one of the most fufilling meetings I have ever attended as a Christian.Frair Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03855036304956508405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-24769145153996442142009-01-16T08:41:00.000-05:002009-01-16T08:41:00.000-05:00You wrote:"I am convinced that it is from gatherin...You wrote:<BR/><BR/>"I am convinced that it is from gatherings such as these that real social and spiritual change happens. That gathering last night was more effective than any 10 resolutions that have or might pass General Convention."<BR/><BR/>That's absolutely what I am thinking because it focuses on an incarnational relationship rather than bureaucracy. So how do we change how our national church and dioceses do councils/conventions? What is the purpose of us spending lots of money and time for such gatherings only to have winners and losers and not spiritual experiences.
