Today I met with a group of church educators who work with adults. An interesting time in the discussion was when we were wondering about spiritual hunger. Is there a spiritual hunger? Are people too busy to have time to hunger after a spiritual life? It seems that once a person has turned 18 years old that they think they don’t need church education. Is the preaching on Sunday enough?
My grandfather used to buy theological books. Did he have more time to read? Did he feel that he had to safeguard the churches theology more than we do now? Is it is sign of our busy lives that we don’t think about church education?
Deb’s Rienstra’s new book So Much More was mentioned. Just the title is intriguing in that it challenges us to think, learn and live life as Christian with an attitude that there is so much more for us to do and learn. We serve a great God and our knowledge of him shouldn’t stagnate.
