I think that everyone needs a Star chamber. I spent three hours last night in the one that Len Sweet calls his study. It is a beautiful place. Small, filled with books, chairs, cigar smoke and stories. It's a place where ideas are discussed and sometimes destroyed. The right people were there last night and the opportunity for learning was huge. I'm not ready to talk about all that we discussed but I will say that the pedagogy of learning that Len promotes is something that needs to be spread to more people.
I need a place in Dallas where ideas about theology, the church and leadership can be dissected, ruminated on and accepted or destroyed.
I'll also say that the cadre of learning last night was huge. Thank you George Fox Seminary for bringing together such an amazing group. It was rich because of your commitment.
Anyone near Dallas want to talk about this kind of stuff let me know.
Sigh. If only I were in Dallas, I’d take you up on that. When I was in Dallas, I yearned for the same thing. Truly hard to find in Southwest Suburbia…
if you stroll down to 3928 mcfarlin, my study offers all of those elements. just ask charlie…
