The Rabbit Room

@bethanysanders0@amy-creighton@evergreenVery strange–I’ll double check to make sure you’re all on the email list. Week 3 of the reading group was postponed because our instructor Jonathan had COVID. We’ll resume this Monday, January 11, and have the next Zoom chat on Thursday.

Hi Bethany and Amy! So sorry you haven’t seen the emails. Have you checked your spam folder?

Meg, I’ve never made that personal connection between the care Niggle took over each leaf and the individual care God has for me–what a lovely thought. But of course, if I am God’s painting, that is exactly how it is. I like imagining Him peering closely at me with his brush, delighting in the thing He is making beautiful, and knowing (as Niggle…[Read more]

Ha! Now that is an apt comparison!

Yes, Sarah, that’s why we at the Rabbit Room dislike the term “creatives.” We are ALL creative, each in our own way.

Those are really helpful comparisons/connections. Art shows us the *why* of things–love that.

Elizabeth, that podcast sounds wonderful! Thanks for giving us the link! I look forward to listening.

Thanks for being brave and going first, Renee! 🙂 I’ve found that many people have just never thought about how much of our lives involve our imaginations!

Anne, yes, that’s a great point about the resurrection and moving beyond merely rational doctrine! And to me it’s even more excitinf to realize that the resurrection isn’t the *end* of the story but the *beginning* of the Real Story which have only just begun to glimpse.

Awww, say hello to Lucy for me! I think it’s cool she has the same same as Lucy Pevensie. 🙂

Oh my goodness, what a small world! I will pass that along to him. 🙂 Welcome!

Although I could leave the church with those attitudes, I cannot leave my…[Read more]

After leaving a 20-year abusive marriage, God called me into ministry to women suffering from domestic violence.

“Does the gospel. . . as we presently preach it . . . have the power to deal with racial attitudes?” In many white churches, the gospel is preached as a formula to diagnose sin and prescribe a fire insurance policy for one’s soul. It is presented as a theological belief to assent to intellectually rather than permeating and transforming the entir…[Read more]
