I came across this quote about Spirituality (hoping I have spelled the surname correctly) the other day which I loved.<\/p>\n
Spirituality defies definition but demands illustration -Phil Daughtry<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I have been musing for a while on two encounters we have had on the streets, which I think illustrates the type of discipleship that is emerging around StreetSpace locally. Our approach is quite in line with what Pete has been on about in Stop teaching the Ethics of Jesus<\/a>. A kind of discipleship that demands illustration but defies definition. It is seems our desire for an unfolding habitus (see here<\/a>) and hope for a Sobornostic community (see here<\/a>) is beginning to be animated by the two following engagements with young people.
\n“I am want to help at the community day as StreetSpace is the type of community I want my son to grow up in” A young dad who is becoming a young leader in the project.
\n“We need a community house” Two young leaders describing their future hopes for the project. A place to be that is way beyond a drop.
\nWe had never mentioned the idea of a house to the group or the idea that we were trying to build community. Whilst the statements in isolation don’t express the unfolding habitus emerging when they are set into the context and ongoing journey I think we have an illustration where the ethics of Jesus are emerging in a conext where we stopped teaching<\/em> them a long time ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I came across this quote about Spirituality (hoping I have spelled the surname correctly) the other day which I loved.
