I was really aiming to turn the mirror on ourselves as church, as its too easy to criticise and dismiss New Age stuff without reflecting on the deeper message for us. <BR/>Its brilliant that you have worked with the folk in the Lincoln North Circuit; its essential that we enter into the snake-oil arena and show that we have something life-enhancing (rather than life-denying) to offer; as well as offering friendship and opening up dialogue with other stall-holders.visual theologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184961109315471466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4429515118424269823.post-31108141146471381002008-09-01T14:18:00.000+01:002008-09-01T14:18:00.000+01:00Interesting post Dave, I spend half of my time con...Interesting post Dave, I spend half of my time concentration on outreach to the post-modern/ spiritually seeking folk of today, often through placing stalls into New Age Fairs ( I have worked with Nettleham Methodist Church on the Lincoln event).<BR/><BR/>There is a lot of "snake oil" being peddaled, but we have to ask ourselves why and what it is they are looking for; the Church has been guilty of inventing and re-inventing programmes to attract others forgetting the fullness of life we have to offer.<BR/><BR/>Past life therapy/ regressive therapy practitioners 9 if we can call them that) aim to reconnect people with themselves in a deeper way- snake oil- for sure, but we must engage creatively with the gift of life God has given us to share!Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759963926280667938noreply@blogger.com
