This is a series of posts in which Steve (a fella I met waaay back in college) goes through the 12 steps of AA (he's gotten through 8 so far) and first explains how they work within AA and then what the church might look like if it took the same rule/step to heart. I think his posts have been provocative so far and would recommend them as a means of thinking through the nature and purpose of the church.
The link takes you to the series of posts specifically on this topic and works just like viewing a tag here works -- which means the posts are going to show up in reverse chronological order when you click through. So scroll to the bottom of the page to start reading.
(For those of you viewing this post via Facebook, you might need to click through to Multiply in order to grab the link to Steve's page. To be honest, I don't remember how Multiply links render when they're cross-posted to FB.)
looks interesting!
ReplyDeletebut your link took me to a page that didn't seem to include the beginning of the series, which I found by going to his homepage and scrolling down to http://stevieg.typepad.com/trudging_the_road_of_happ/2009/11/the-12-traditions-of-aa-in-the-church.html
(just posting this here in case it's helpful to others reading your post)
yeah, i wondered where that post had gone. thanks for adding the link. he must not have thought to tag these until he'd starting rolling a little further into them.
