Want to meet again sometime?

Posted in A Generous Orthodoxy, Brian McLaren, books, meeting, thoughts on June 7, 2008 | 4 Comments »

So it’s been a little while since we’ve all gotten together…  and the last few times we met, there was pretty low turnout.
Is it a coincidence that it started dropping off once I suggested that we read a book together?  I’ve been wondering if maybe that was a bad idea.
I remember the first couple times [...]

Cohort Meeting (#7) – New Date

Posted in A Generous Orthodoxy, Brian McLaren, books, facebook, meeting on April 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Well, it seems that this week is no good for anyone, at least according to the Facebook event I created…
So rather than sit alone at Starbucks tomorrow night, I’ve decided to push it off a week. 
See the revised info below; I’ll create a new Facebook event as well:
Next Cohort meeting (#7)

Cohort Meeting (#7) – Pick a Date

Posted in A Generous Orthodoxy, Brian McLaren, books, meeting on April 16, 2008 | 1 Comment »

UPDATE: Well, not much response.  So, I’ve picked the date.  Thursday, 4/24 it is!
——
It’s time to meet again!
Last time there were only 2 of us… It was still a great time, but obviously, the more the merrier.
So for this time, I’m bringing democracy back and letting everyone vote for which day to meet. [...]

Next Meeting (#6)

Posted in A Generous Orthodoxy, Brian McLaren, books, meeting on March 18, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

We had a great time last meeting, discussing a bit of the first 2 chapters of A Generous Orthodoxy, but really just enjoying where the conversation branched out to from there.
I think that it was good to have a place to start (the book), but also good to not be dogmatic about it as a [...]

What to read before the next meeting

Posted in A Generous Orthodoxy, Brian McLaren, books, meeting on February 25, 2008 | 1 Comment »

In the last post, I announced that we’re going to try reading/discussing a book together: Brian McLaren’s A Generous Orthodoxy. I also said that I would follow up with more details on how much we should have read by the next meeting.
Let’s try to get through the first two chapters before the meeting:
Chapter 1: [...]

A Generous Orthodoxy and Our next meeting

Posted in Brian McLaren, books, meeting on February 22, 2008 | 4 Comments »

We had a great meeting Wednesday night, getting to know some new friends and chatting about whatever was on our minds.
But I think it’s time to get serious now. No more fly-by-the-seat-of-our-pants meetings. Let’s get down to business.
Or something like that. Anyways…
We’re going to start reading a book together! And the [...]

Meet?

Posted in Brian McLaren, books, facebook, meeting on November 7, 2007 | 6 Comments »

I’d love to setup a meeting sometime soon. There’s been some (marginal) interest in this thing, it seems mostly through the Facebook Group, so I was curious if anyone is interested in trying to get together sometime?
My hope in kicking off this Cohort was (at the very least) to have a “book club”-like meeting, [...]
