Bing! goes the lightbulb

Wow! It's been a while since I've posted! Mainly because I don't really have much new to say, actually.
A few weekends ago was a launch of a 'salon' for a group of people who generally have not been pushed, nor encouraged, to think deeply and profoundly about the assumptions that they bring to the understanding of their faith. I think some of them still didn't really get it.
However, it was greatly encouraging to see people thinking, almost physically seeing the lightbulbs going off in their heads to think and engage critically with their cultural blinders, and their biases and judgements. Not sure where that will go, or if some will eventually tire of thinking, and want to simply consume blindly.
Blind, witless consumption results in being prepared like a pig for slaughter; so engorged and sated with lulling platitudes, that one cannot and does not recognize or engage with the culture as it is....
