This is not a lawyer debate where we have to answer each other point for point; instead, it is conversation where we weave threads of a new now, and loose threads are woven somewhere else. Everything is used as best it is used.

:- Doug.

I don’t care whether you agree with me or not; I care that we work together to create a world that works for all, and for which all who care work. I care that we work together for a better now. I care that we work together. We have never done that, never had to do that, before.

This is my chance, my opportunity, on which I will work. I have no idea what will come out, but I will work toward it and toward us.

That is really what it is about for me—working toward us, for in the us is the community of G*d. We experience and create life, love and being.

:- Doug.

The language of worship, adoration, confession can be heard as joy, appreciation, living, loving, and confession to self and one another. These are legitimate—after all, they are part of the experience of being human which wells up in us, and so cannot be denied—the issue is what sort of G*d we express them to, and how large a G*d: one conceived in human image, or one beyond the image of a human?

The present is waiting to be created
The presence is waiting to be created

People want to be invited, not notified.

We need community disorganizing because we need kitchen table and ordinary people democracy.

:- Doug.

Why do we not pay people well to enhance life, love and being, but pay them handsomely to take these from others? What we dearly want we avoid, what we do not wish, we work toward with all our energy and resources.

The voice of Spirit speaks; the people hear.
