sunday at 3rdplace was an interesting one...
I taught on narratives and told some crazy stories, I asked one girl in our community to share her story.. she was amongst other things.. a 3rd level inca high priestess..
seriously, an inca high priestess..
afterward a guy came up to me and said: I am just a pretoria boy, who likes fast cars.. I can't believe that story!! (or something like that)..
then i thought about the church, and about 3rdplace and about how it is the craziest mixed bunch of people:
an inca high priestess
a pretoria boy who likes fast cars
a guy who was in a mental institution
a couple of people with various psychiatric disorders
some dancers
a girl who paint murals in goth clubs
rugby fans
various creatives
programmers
an ethiopian refugee
a manchester boy
germans
a american 'refugee'
and we all love Jesus..
i think Paul might be proud.
grace & peace

Pierre, this is awesome!!! But I know EXACTLY why you lot are so flippen weird and screwed-up....
ReplyDeleteIt's because there is NO clergy around!!
Serious. Where there is clergy, there is the image of perfection and holy authority (sounds powerfull, huh?)
So wherever clergy features in any means, shape or form, people tend to either get perfect and holy themselves in order to shape up, or they just simply hide and keep quiet.
Not so? (got this "insight" from Frank Viola...)
Well we have a high priestess....
ReplyDeleteI know (by now) what you mean when you say
'clergy'.. and yes I agree
