Please fasten your safety belts...

3 ... 2 ... 1 ... We've begun our Sunday School study of Don Miller's "Blue Like Jazz." It'll run through March; most weeks we'll tackle 3 chapters; sometimes only 2. Details to follow.

We'll try using this blog to comment on the reading and on our weekly conversations. Here are some ground rules to keep us on track and out of trouble.
- Anyone (in the world) can read the posts and comments. If there are objections, we can change this policy; but you get used to it soon enough. Obviously you'll want to use email, phone, or face-to-face for any truly confidential material; but there's real value to discussing the Christian faith "in public" rather than always in private.
- Anyone can comment on posts -- even anonymously. (If we get overrun by spammers, we can tighten that up but let's hope for the best.) Who knows, we may get deep insights or probing questions from complete strangers halfway around the world.
- Anyone may join the blog as a co-author (able to post new topics for discussion): I just need to send you an invitation. [It requires free registration with Google, which owns blogspot.com.]
- Be nice! Welcome and value each other's views; ask genuine questions and look beyond obvious answers; speak the truth in love; etc. (I Cor. 13) The goal (for the class and this blog) is to create a "safe space" for a win-win conversation (not debate) in which to develop our own, genuine expressions of the Christian life, faith, and story.

- Any other rules to suggest?
