March 9, 2009: Lecture Reflections (Wess)

Today's lecture was interesting. We talked about the Fantasy and the Kingdom of God (Recovering Imagination for Christian Mission. Does the church do a good job in capturing or appealing to people's desires? We talked how most churches tend to speak against or neglect these very real desires that all humans have of wanting to be known, participate in spectacle, to be creative, etc. Once again there is another challenge for the church to recapture and redirect these desires rather than to suppress and ignore them.
