I once led a Christian Community. We were unconventional. Trying things often not understood by the greater church. We believed that the right question was more important than the right answer. Consequently, we asked a lot of questions. A question is a forerunner of a conversation. We liked conversations. Inviting questions and conversation after a sermon.
One does get tired of sermonizing, so in the summers, we would write and tell stories—stories that, yes, asked questions and invited conversation. “A Good Gathering: A Tale of a Life-giving Community in a Post-Apocalyptic World was one of our stories. And if you are wondering, it was written well before the COVID-19 pandemic.
It’s a short story, just Five chapters ( yup, Five, not Four) and under 10,000 words. I’ll post a chapter a week.
Chapter 1 Monuments
Chapter 2 Risking Change
