Big Questions:
We had a wonderful conversation at our
Presbytery’s Education Committee last week about, what we called, the “Big
Questions” in the Church today. These are questions that are best described as
discussion starters. These are long term, conceptual, future-oriented questions
for which there are not now clear answers. These questions generally emerge in
conversations about the massive, transformative changes we are living through
in church and society. At our Committee meeting we pondered places and formats
in which we might discuss such Big Questions. We are not sure exactly how to
ask, and nurture discussion around these questions. But the conversation we had
interested me. So I started a list of Big Questions for myself. I hope to write
about them now again here in this blog space. Of course, I hope you will join
the conversation.
