from Gary
Carol,
I've had enough of BSF for both reasons. It has a method and no deviation is possible, (isn't variety in most curch things unusual?) And the Leaders' meeting is too long.
The present teaching leader is having a lovely time getting into the fellows, for the prophets got into Israel and Judah, and there are plenty of 'you should' 'we should' you must' 'have you' -- the introductions of legalisms and ways to work on guilt feelings. There is no peace or joy, patience, or understanding proposed in this study. There is no thanks either, though each week I thank my group for coming.
The scripture referred to, and really the parable of the sower teach us that some people will not accept the faith, some people I work with or live near or are in the clubs I'm in. I don't see it as my fault; its theirs!
I do see a Baptist style in the notes, questions, and the talks from the present TL. Geoff and David do you?
Geoff or David do you have any of Spongs books. I'd like to read for myself?
Gary
