Pester Sheila (harder than I did!) she has some great references she could share, Jonathan noted several references the speakers gave which would save you going through the audio files (although listening again would hardly be a hardship!) - I'll see if I can get him to pass them on, or get them off him and do so myself. Put something out on the WGYF email list, you are bound to get a response.<BR/><BR/>We're definitely going ahead with the study group - and we've had quite a few people say they've felt that is what they need for ages, looks like we've hit on a big need there.<BR/><BR/>Sheila and I discussed at one point a 'beginners guide' as part of the preperation for WGYF (which is why she never got around to sending me the references to the chapters she'd spoken to in our epilogues - she was trying to think bigger and ran out of time/energy). There is definitely a niche market out there of the biblically skeptical/ignorant/naive who are open to learning but who aren't necessarily looking for convincement/conversion.Anna Dunfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362143051124854821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16620908.post-1133325962124113672005-11-30T17:46:00.000+13:002005-11-30T17:46:00.000+13:00Anna!I miss you so much! just one comment, the Qua...Anna!<BR/><BR/>I miss you so much! just one comment, the Quaker Gospel is refered to as John not Matthuew though the Jesus Christians refere to Matthuew a bunch. hope to catch up with you sometime. <BR/>-rachelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16620908.post-1133311478957234612005-11-30T13:44:00.000+13:002005-11-30T13:44:00.000+13:00Anna, I've been an only-very-occasionally Bible re...Anna, <BR/>I've been an only-very-occasionally Bible reader as well. At WGYF I read more than I anticipated, and got a lot from it. Not as much post-WGYF, partially because I left my bible behind in Kenya. I hope SOMEONE is reading it there... <BR/><BR/>My bible had in it references to favorite passages from friends at a spiritual community earlier in my life. <BR/><BR/>I've been thinking since WGYF that it would be great to collect participants' relevant passages from the Gathering, so we could all have a reference list of places to go when we want to connect with the spirit that was alive among us then.<BR/><BR/>The more encouragement I have on that, the better !!<BR/><BR/>I find that it's hard to know where to start when I want to make the bible a bigger part of my spiritual practice.
