One idea is that, to help our conversations, part of what we do will be a bit like a book-club: we'll read a book together and discuss a bit of it each time we meet. This space will share summaries of what we're reading and provide an extra space to share thoughts and comments.
Naked Spirituality by Brian McLaren (Hodder and Stoughton, 2010)
'Naked Spirituality' is our first book - it tackles the question of what Christian spirituality really means. The blurb on the back reads....
"In our busy lives we often sideline prayer and spiritual practice, or wrap up the subject in a tangle of guilt-driven showmanship and 'self-motivation'. Stripping away the jargon, Naked Spirituality presents twelve core elements of prayer in a fresh and accessible way.
Known for his wrestling with what it means to be a Christian in today's world, Brian D McLaren has had to confront these issues in his own life. In Naked Spirituality he shares candidly the challenges he's faced and the experiences and insight he's gained.
Using twelve simple words, he shows us how we can connect with God in practical and durable ways, and how that connection can affect how we engage with others."
