We shall be looking at the responses that were made to the book 'Honest to God' , - there were many both positive and negative . Frank Godfrey will again prepare material on this, but what will also be important are the Group responses – was he right? Inspired? Mistaken? Helpful? And of course, being 50 years on, was he radical enough ? Last time we were considering the background to writing the book and John’s concern over the issues of Secularisation, Demythologising and the” Reluctant Revolution “ which he knew were challenging traditional Christian theology. We shall look at the letters he received, material from some of the many scholarly reviews which his book prompted and focus on some of the key issues debated Wrong? Not radical enough? Unnecessary? Prophetic?

We shall be viewing and discussing chapters 3 and 4 of the DVD by Borg and Crossan of the pilgrimage they led to Turkey in 2006.

Monday 28 January 2013
Why do we use the words we do to describe ‘faith’ (or in worship)? We ask the question, ‘are the traditional expressions meaningful to us today’? What would we want to put in their place? We shall look at some recent attempts at saying/doing things differently. All are welcome from 12.50 onwards for informal chat before the start of meetings.
