I spent the weekend at Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio, doing workshops for the Region 6 youthworker's network gathering. It was a fun event...about 30 people gathered together for learninig and support.
The Bishop of the Southern Ohio Synod came and spoke with the grou and had some interesting things to say. One of the things I really liked was really just a passing comment. He said something about youth and family ministry creating a space where faith meets imagination.
My mind took off on this:
What it would be like if the church reclaimed imagination?
What if we could imagine a world with no poverty?
What if we could imagine a world with peace?
What if we could imagine a world where the value of each young person was lifted up?
What if we could imagine who God calls us to be, and what God's vision of our lives is?
What if those of us in ministry could help young people imagine God's dream for their life?
Faith and imagination.
Faith and imagination.
Hmmm...
