… meint ‘nakedpastor’ David Hayward treffend:
Auch seine anderen Grafiken und Beiträge bieten immer wieder Lesenswertes – aus manchmal ungewohnter und herausfordernder Perspektive. Zum Beispiel diese Gedanken über die Transformation einer Gemeinde zu einer ehrlichen Gemeinschaft:
“I am a part of a community that has come to a place where those who are a part of it can be very honest. People in our community hold a variety of opinions. … And this is what I love. … This kind of community doesn’t happen overnight. It takes incredible energy, focus and attention to be authentic. Mostly, it is guarding yourself and others against judgement, condemnation and ridicule. It is providing a safe environment where people can express who they are and openly struggle and talk about these things. It cannot be manufactured. It cannot be programmed. It means being real, authentic, and gracious yourself. This is not a step to the real thing: a pious and healed people. This IS the real thing. This IS the goal. This IS the wholeness.”
