I'm very fortunate to be in a church with leadership that a few years ago recognized everything that Platt suggests and began the process of reformation within - so Platt hasn't ruffled my feathers, but fanned the flame. It's been an intentional, focused process at our church that my husband and I have been privileged to be part of almost from the beginning. I'll be writing more about that in my contribution to this week's discussion, which I hope to have up by tonight.

I visited a church yesterday and not one person spoke to me except in the sharing of the peace. Something is so wrong here...Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08871445174509081095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-51332745567347011612013-03-04T14:29:21.862-06:002013-03-04T14:29:21.862-06:00If we focus on God and relate with God, then many ...If we focus on God and relate with God, then many things are seen differently, even the church. It is our individual relationship 'of Love' with God and then Love for others that we as believers often forget. And this is the rock the base.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-25203660735105483712013-03-04T08:34:22.879-06:002013-03-04T08:34:22.879-06:00It was a hard three chapters for me too, Glynn. Yo...It was a hard three chapters for me too, Glynn. You capture the struggle well here. I'm keeping quiet too (for now)until I read the whole book. Just when I get my back up, Platt covers my objections in the next paragraph. We need a balance of these hard truths and grace, I think. Seems the church is always slanting one way or the other. I think this is going to be a good discussion.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263995875732832349noreply@blogger.com
