Peter Vanderveen leads the discussion this week. We are living in an age when people will have colonoscopies on television and will upload almost every aspect of their lives on social media. Many have no compunction about publicly lying; it seems no longer to matter. And yet to talk about one’s faith or church involvement seems too awkward to venture and too potentially offensive to others. Why? What is it that makes this so difficult? This year I’ll be regularly convening small groups of parishioners to examine this and mull over the imagined obstacles that prevent us from sharing the good that we actually experience in faith and church involvement. For, if the church is to thrive and grow, we have to find a way to somehow remove or reduce these barriers. Today’s forum will be an introductory foray into this thorny problem, and, hopefully, those who attend will be willing to say, from their own perspectives, what stymies them.
