Household of Faith

Attending a conference looking at faith development in households, what households look like, what faith looks like. Cultural contexts. Speakers include John Westerhoff, Lucy Moore, Krishna Kandiah, Bishop Paul Butler & Beth Barnett, so quite an esteemed gathering.

Quotes so far from John Westerhoff:

Re-found the church on the story that we inhabit God’s world, not ours, join in with God’s activity in God’s world

other religions "they are as messed up as we are!" Look for the best in others.

In times of change we need new theory not new practice,

As Christians, we need a new emphasis on "being"

Christians not here to make a difference but to live in the difference God makes, otherwise we just mess up the world ..... differently,

Faith communities ........ children have as much to teach adults as adult have to teach children

Bishop Paul Butler ..... We need to recognise we are in a missionary setting

Interesting stuff.
