In this session, recorded on the Thursday of Campmeeting, we explore the difficulty and necessity of telling community stories--stories about who we are together. This begins with a brief summary of Derrida's discussion of hospitality and the competing needs for clear boundaries and for open boundaries. This is the difficulty of telling our stories and sharing them with others, without become bound to them in unhealthy ways. Of course, the discussion is much more interesting than this brief synopsis. And yet again, we have a few guests sitting in on the recording. Please join us.
Thank you for listening.

In other news, Dale and I are putting together a new blog project. In the aftermath of the 2015 San Antonio General Conference, our Adventist world church has committed to an in-depth study of hermeneutics (basically rules and methods of interpreting the Bible). Our interpretations of the Bible profoundly impact our picture of God and the way we live as Christians. Our plan is to provide a series of concise summaries of relevant Adventist materials for those who may not be so inclined to academic studies. Stay tuned for more information.
