Us pastors around here are working through the book "Reimagining Spiritual Formation - by Doug Pagitt"
I'm thoroughly enjoying it...the things that have struck me thus far and no, I'm not going to explain them...
Some thoughts on Holistic spiritual Formation
1. Knowledge based spiritual formation failed.
2. The Gospel is a call to Kingdom living - Jesus' call to a better way of life that is meant to begin now and follow through into eternity. (Mark 1:15)
3. Christian community is more than about us right here, right now...it's local, it's global, it's historical and it's futurical.
4. We are called to Kingdom living NOW!
-this does not mean accountability, I live it/you live it - we make sure the other is living it. It's about vulnerability - We live it together! Help each other, encourage, build up, rebuke, etc.
That's just the first chapter - great stuff to munch on!
