To one man Jesus said you must be born again
To one man Jesus said give everything to the poor
Both sayings challenge me more each day

engage…open, exploratory, voluntary, not just a talking shop but a springboard for action, moving towards something rather than just protesting against things, starting from where we are with our own perspective, discussing real life questions, no hidden agendas, a dialogue rather than monologue, a safe environment, nobody telling you what to believe, requires nothing of you, except what you want to contribute.

A challenge to "born again" Christians and rich young rulers alike.
Thank you for this moving post.

Thanks Keith
It seems that the simpler we make things the more powerful they are. Perhaps our over complication of Jesus and his way is a diversionary tactic to keep it all at arms length
