This morning (Nov. 26) was Men's Breakfast Group. We gather twice a month and have a "big" breakfast (oatmeal, sausage, bagels, muffins, coffee, and cider this morning).
We talk about the world and life in general while we're gathering and eating. It's good to have a bunch of guys to "catch up" on - hear what's happening in their lives.
This fall we have been watching the Via Media program sessions on DVD (20 minutes or so) and having conversation about these basic issues in Christianity. Today the program was on sin - called a "Roadblock to Abundant Life."
We heard and discussed the way the Episcopal Church is non-judgmental and gets accused of being "soft on sin." But then we looked at how the Episcopal Church cares a lot and talks a lot about justice - larger issues of societal evil, and how we're not soft on justice.
Sin is no easy topic - but the conversation was one that left us all thinking (and perhaps praying) about what is truly important and what is most valuable to us and to others.
In December Men's Breakfast Group meets only once: December 10 - then January 14 and 28.
