Christine, Michael--
I know that in the hours, days and weeks after September 11, it always lifted
my spirits to come to the OSList and find a different voice that I was
hearing in the news media--a voice that spoke of hope and unity rather than
fear and
enemies. The connection between us is a

got talking the nex
as said before not meaning to be unkind. perhaps my views are formed a

Dear Michael h,
I have always felt very comfortable with your communications.
Quick, when I have a request, like putting in the new hungarian
website a couple of days ago (thanks) without telling me "why the
hell dont you get your act together and learn how to do it yourself".

Hi,
I do not really feel able to give an advice. - ButI'd reflect about the
role, you want your pastor to perform (wil he be the shepherd, who leads
some lost sheeps, or do the members of the community rather look for
somebody, who is able to accompany, because they are not that lost? Or..?)

What do you think about the way living systems organise the tacit

Michael--
Yes, I agree an all-congregation retreat makes sense--and I think we are
headed that direction.
Could you say a little more how you see this "keeping on" working in the
situation of Pastor and congregation "interviewing" each other?
Thanks, Michael!

Nicolai--
Wonderful ideas, 1. having the Pastor suggest a procedure, and 2. asking
about role and process!
Thank you, Nicolai!

Would you ask the same two questions all over, or something different, when

To start to answer my own question, it seems to me we have to have
