Yes, we are a study group of four peo...Thanks S :)<br /><br />Yes, we are a study group of four people. Where I live we have don't have a Unitarian church yet there are people who are committed to studying various religious sources and especially the NT. So some of us who have chosen Jesus as a personal guide and teacher have got together and we study parts of NT and relate it to our environment, society, and other religions and discuss it every week. When we can we go to a local Coptic/Catholic/Evangelical church and attend sermons there to adapt for our study group. It is a very interesting experience. <br />Unfortunately, two people from our small group of four are married - that is not the unfortunate part, the sad part is that they are moving to the UK so we'll have to get more (Jesus fans) Unitarians together :)Acheloisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740924465958245224.post-53028824789879914862009-10-31T08:36:43.318-05:002009-10-31T08:36:43.318-05:00Amber, I LOVED that story you shared!

An excellent post. :)
The first thought ...*grin* <br /><br />An excellent post. :)<br /><br />The first thought that came to mind was something I heard sarcastically, recently: 'I'm so humble I envy the people who know me!' <br /><br />But it also reminded me of this story, unfortunately I can't remember the man it refers to:<br /><br />'_____' an important Roman (maybe an emperor or senator, like I said, I'm drawing a blank here!) had a servant whose job was to follow him wherever he went. And every time anyone praised the man, the servant was to lean over and whisper in his master's ear, 'You're only a man...'Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002997517784638068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740924465958245224.post-85273344893113165702009-10-29T06:57:29.697-05:002009-10-29T06:57:29.697-05:00Thank you!

You are...Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. :)<br /><br />You are always welcome to use anything I post ... even if it's to share something you strongly disagree with. I enjoy the feedback so thanks much for reading all that. I know it was a lot. :)<br /><br />So you all take turns preparing lessons at your church? That sounds very interesting! I often enjoyed your "lessons" on your old blog. You often challenged my thinking by things you read and reported over there.Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115294023069458287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-740924465958245224.post-58211644961775291972009-10-29T04:49:48.831-05:002009-10-29T04:49:48.831-05:00This is a wonderful post!
