I have started to meditate and chew on the bible itself. The scriptures Joshua 1:8 states if you meditate on this book of the law day and night you will be successful in all your ways. Also Psalm 1:1 states that you will be blessed if you meditate on the bible. I have read all kinds of books for contemplation and meditation and it is awesome how the Holy Spirit opened up the scriptures as i did what it said. I am not sure where this will lead as to community. I do feel called to be a minister after the opening up of Scriptures and the love of God that has been revealed to me through Jesus. I am so looking for people to commune with and relate with who really want to practice the love of God. God bless. I really appreciate your comments.

Looks like some good reading. I too enjoy contemplation and meditation. Might I suggest some reading from Thomas Merton? He was a Trappist monk from an Abbey in Kentucky. I've never read Meister Eckhart, I'll have to give him a try. Can you suggest any specific books of his? God bless you as you seek greater intimacy with Him. Jeff Thanks for sharing with me Jen.

Why, because every critique will be labeled as anti semite, like this picture http://ahmedshahikusuma.wordpress.com/2009/07/29/anti-semitic-as-a-tool-immune-zionists-supremacy/#comments It is very strange to note, that every religion in this erath, and every state can be critized but not Judaism and Israel ???

I have been reading the Bible's Wisdom Literature, the writings of Meister Eckhart (the 13th century writer, NOT Eckhart Tolle), Julian of Norwich, spending time with Nature and learning to sit quietly in Contemplation and Meditation. It has been a great blessing. As yet I have not found a Christian Community where I live who follow this path. So I continue to live out the active part of my faith as a full time carer, and hopefully will one day find like minded people. Bless you, Jen. Hi Jeff,

I became tired of women's second rate status, (despite their huge contribution to the church); no matter how nicely they try to present a woman's place, it is still secondary to men. The male anthropomorphic God/Trinity who all have male gender was also unsatisfactory. When one reads the life of Jesus, it is so opposite to the modern Evangelical or Pentecostal church! So I left! Have found renewed Christian spirituality elsewhere. Thank you. I have left church as I found it full of nervous, narrow minded people often hostile to others outside their beliefs and world view.

]]> Comment on A Different Kind of Church – Xenos Christian Fellowship by ashley http://organicfaith.wordpress.com/2008/03/27/a-different-kind-of-church-xenos-christian-fellowship/#comment-1839 ashley Sun, 16 Aug 2009 15:37:14 +0000 http://organicfaith.wordpress.com/?p=348#comment-1839 Hi, I am also a member of xenos and I just wanted to say to Matt, if he still reads this, that I am sorry for his bad experience and that if he ever wanted to come back he should look into other groups. In my group, for example, we have 5 leaders who have all "been there" but are still relatable. and within my group I probably hang out with members 2-4 times a week outside of home church, prayer/cell, or main group. And our teachers are more than willing to go off topic with questions if someone is really interested. What I am trying to say is, at Xenos we are comprised of multiple small home churches and no two are exactly the same. This can give everyone a chance to find a group that suits them but it also means that if you go out to a group that doesn't suit you you can have a bad experience. Hi,
