Listen "Sacred Spaces : Discussion Evening"
Episode Synopsis
Mike Waine shares on 'the theology of sacred spaces' at our latest discussion evening.
Mike looks at the language of religious spaces, their history, thin places and what might make us think about a space as sacred or holy.
What you will hear is just Mike's introduction to the topic, not the discussions had on the evening.
Questions:
1) What is a space, "religious" or otherwise, that feels 'special' or even 'sacred' to you? What makes it so?
2) Do you believe in 'thin places' where God's presence is more tangible? Why or why not?
3) If there are 'thin places', does that necessitate 'thick places', where God is less present, or even absent? If so, how do we respond to this as Christians?
4) Do we encourage people, through our words and behaviours, to believe that the Resound building is a sacred space? Should we?
5) If we are truly post-Christendom, is 'sacred space theology' something that we need to let go of, in order to reach non-Christians in our community/world? Is it better for us to go to them or make them come to us?
