My apologies for not posting the paper before the meeting, as I had hoped to do, but I didn't finish writing it until that afternoon.
Despite that lapse, the meeting went well. We had good discussion amongst the 15 people attending, opening up interesting lines of thought that we could not exhaust. The discussion also exposed some of the assumptions of the paper, which I found useful and thought-provoking. For example, the paper's scope only addresses the believer's interaction with God and not interaction with the Church or the relationship of one Christian's faith to that of others.
The next meeting will be at Delaney's again, on Thursday, May 21, at 7:30 p.m. The proposed topic is "Our Identity in Christ," but I'm having some thoughts about other possibilities. We shall see.

John, would you be willing to elaborate on those other points that came up in the meeting (interaction with the Church and the relationship of one Christian's faith to that of others)?
ReplyDeleteKevin: One of the guys there just brought up the point that my paper only addressed faith in the individual and not as an event in community. We did not pursue it, and I don't know where the idea would lead.
