1. Bishop Pearson argues that fear tactics (hell) around “getting someone saved” don’t work? Do you agree?
2. Can personal and private theological, political and social crises be kept undercover in public success?
3. Reflections on Lamentations – is erasure of painful histories also an erasure of history?

Welcome to Spirit and Truth Sanctuary, where all of God's children are both welcomed and wanted! We are excited to stay connected online with all of you!

We are an inclusive spiritual community that recognizes God is bigger than religion, though present in many of them. Religion tells you WHAT to think, Spirituality teaches you HOW to think. Change is the only constant in the universe... We all change, but we do so at our own pace and in our own space. We invite you to join us and eat what you can and journey at your own pace.

Good morning! Join us for our weekly Connection service with Pastor LaDonna Paulk Diaz as she talks about, "The Power of Agreement." We are excited to welcome you both in person and to stay connected online with all of you.

Consider tonight's discussion questions for week 121: "The Price of Proclaiming Truth" JOIN US IN THE CHAT FOR LIVE Q&A & TALKBACK!
1. Carlton describes himself and Bishop Spong (and others) as “believers who live in exile from Christianity.” How might we better understand Jeremiah now – who spoke to those physically exiled, while being spiritually and socially exiled himself?
2. As a progressive thinker, do you experience exile from family, friends, church?
3. Space to discuss Jeremiah: 29:11 “I know the plans”/ 1:5 “before I formed you” / Ben Hinnom becoming Gehenna / New Covenant.
