For those of us studying together at Spirit of Joy on Wednesday nights, it could be all of the above. But I doubt it. Instead, I expect some deep conversation about how we think about God, Jesus, the Gospel, who we are, and who we are called to be.
Starting next Wednesday night, we'll begin a series on Howard W. Stone and James O. Duke's second edition of How to Think Theologically. The schedule and ordering information are here.
Stone and Duke haven't written a systematic theology, but they have done something far more clever. They've provided tools for us to explore our own understandings and beliefs.
The book started over a cup of coffee between the authors. We'll study it following dinner, and you can be sure the coffee will be fair trade, locally-roasted, and hot.
I've still got to come up with the right word for what I'm really getting ready for. Humble? Yeah, that's it! I expect I'll be humbled by the stories shared and lives interwoven as we equip ourselves to do the deeper work of public theology. That's just how it goes around here.
Join us if you're in the Twin Cities area. We're about 25 minutes south of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
