Notes from Brian McLaren
I will add to these notes over the next couple of days. The notes are shoddy but I will be working on them.
Freedomize worship band lead worship. One of the best worship bands I have ever heard. I wish Lakeview�s worship leaders would explore some new worship forms musically. There are some incredible ones out there, I wish they would think outside that box.
Brian sarted to speak and I will find the notes online and add them to my notes today.
1 Peter 3:15
-Negativity is a sign of decay
-Value of religion is assessed by value to non-adherants � thought bomb by Dallas Willard. (I am thinking that Dallas Willard need blogs. I would love to read their daily thoughts)
-Practical leads us to forgot thought changes
-We have the stories to address the changes we are facing
The Great Chain of Being
World was hierarchical as science was perceived to be. Life was comfortable in a hierarchical. Huge influence on Roman Catholic church
What if we treated First Nations cultures as if we treated Greek culture. Instead we ignore it or are biased against it.
Copernicus starts the renaissance where the sun moved to the center and it shattered the world views and even assaulted the church
Ecclesiastes 1:4:6
Luther called Galileo a fool.
Panel mentioned Leslie Newbiggin�s �Foolish to the Greek�, I need to buy this book. Another Panel member mentioned the domesticated God as being a blind spot of the church. Also mentioned command and control organizations as a problem. Jared Seibert (who has done an excellent job on the panel)mis talking about being a defender of the truth rather than seekers of the truth. Good thought. We need to keep up rather than defend. He also feels we have fostered a culture of avoidance where we think we can glorify God by avoiding things which was what Jesus modeled. Sunlight laundry detergent. �Go ahead: Get Dirty� I love it. Leaving the Christian ghetto behind.
Brian mentioned the short attention spans. They are going down a six lane highway and we are offering a narrow road. We aren�t stimulating them enough.
In a small group with Ron Bonar in talking about the transition from medieval to reformation. If Ron had been alive then, I don�t think the Reformation would have gathered much steam. He made the reformation popes look kind. It was a group learning exercise and was fun
Will blog more after our afternoon session. Also will post some pics
