Welcome!
This is the home for online discussion, journalling, and sharing reflections on the text Taking A Chance on God by John J. McNeill.
If you've not been a "blogger" before, a couple simple concepts. Each one of us can create "posts," or (if you will) articles on any given topic. Then anyone else in the group can click on the "post a comment" button at the bottom of the original post, and add their reflections or experience. If you see some text underlined or in a different color (like this reference to Fourth Presbyterian Church), go ahead and click on them. You'll usually find that it links to an outside web-page, which may provide additional information, or may refer you to a web-based article. Just clicking the "back" button takes you back to the main blog.
Things work a little backward in blogging - the most recent post is on top, the oldest one is on the bottom. It makes sense, after a while.
Here's a little article on how to post to our blog and general topics on doing posts from the Blogger help pages.
There are two things I want to draw your attention to in the right "sidebar." The first is the list of "previous posts," just to see what's been published most recently. The other is a list of GLBT-friendly links and GLBT-friendly books. If there are links, or books, that you'd recommend for our "hit parade," email me and I'll be glad to add them to the list!
My own experience with blogging is that it's a cross between a discussion group and a journal. I can write on a given topic, and frequently folks who comment either find something in common, or something completely different (which almost always broadens and enriches my own experience).
Any member can post, and any member can comment on someone else's post. You can contribute, or just read...either option is perfectly all right. But the more people that share, the more my own experience deepens - so somewhat selfishly I hope you'll all consider posting or commenting...even to tell me exactly what I'm full of...
Welcome...and blessings to each of you as we begin this journey together!
