emerging something…

Hi,

I recently was part of a seminar that tackled with the subject of the so-called emerging church. My part was to introduce cultural shifts in our society along the 7 cultural institutions each culture has (Language, Family, Religion, Economics, Technology, Arts&Leisure, Government).

The participants came mainly form a churchy background. It was very funny to see how some tried to fix the contents of the seminar into their system of thinking or their concept of church or what ever. Phrases like “we are doing that for 10 years already…” were heard sometimes. Or “Our young poeple do not fit in your description…” . Well… how do you talk to a fish about water?

I realised for my self two things in that.

1. It is hard to learn and to develop when one is BELIEVING in his system

2. In order to develop, one has to let go of some things (the question then is how to choose the “right” things…).

New concept for this blog – TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN!

I got it. For a while I thought of a new concept for this blog, as I said here. So, now I think I have got an Idea that could work out well.

Maybe every other week, or at least once a month I will write a letter. A letter from Babylon. A letter is normaly addressed to someone. In my case the letter is directed “to whom it may concern!” There will be no other categories. Just the letters. for orientation, content-wise, I will keep the tags.

Thats it. I am looking forward to this journey.

Ah one more thing: names and all personal data are chanched!!
