Stephen Crites talks about the way narrative conveys identity…we tell mundane stores (facts, figures, etc) but within them sacred stories, that speak to the heart of “us”.my plea for us to look deeper…and tell the sacred stories of grace,not simply the ‘mundane’ #MethodistConf

“We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring

And know the place for the first time.” TS Eliot We need a renewed vision of community… to see ourselves as treasure… to see all people as treasure…. #MethodistConf

A bit of James Hopewell… “[A] congregation’s communication … is primarily by story … By its own congregating, the congregation participates in narrative structures of the world’s societies”. We are our stories… the trick is finding new ways to tell them! #MethodistConf

#MethodistConf “ I will give you the treasures of darkness…” Perhaps darkness offers peace, rest, restoration…. A starting point for the church… ? because in those things we know it is God who calls us by name….
