How was that for a title? Did that get you interested? ...hahaha.
Anyway....
In the interest of transparency and honesty i am listing the people who i have invited to contribute to this Blog:
Ian Davidson
Michael Schmidt
Trevor Thomas
Doug Carolisian
Satish Manmothe
Daniel Woodyatt
Lydia Woodyatt
David Harris
Kenn Lowis
Andrew Copland
Glen Stanley
Tim Burton
Steve Kasambalis
Paul Spanos
Marion Kent
Richard Giesken
Shane Faatape
Cameron Batkin
Jim Good
Caine Pennell
Not everyone has responded to that invitation.
The reason i am listing who i have invited is so everyone is aware of who may be viewing the posts even though they have not commented or officially 'followed' the Blog.
The last thing i want is for people not to be honest because there is a sense that people are 'watching me'. If we cannot have open, honest, differing opinions on what it means to be 'Nazarene' in Australia without fear of labels and being 'blacklisted', what a very sad state we are in as a church and in my personal opinion, bordering on cultish/secret society behaviour.
My hope is that this Blog is a genuine place to talk, disagree, encourage, support, work through the issues, not simply make a 'secret' space for some to talk for fear of judgement.
Does that make sense? I hope so.....if you want an example of how christian nazarenes can have an opinion and create open dialogue without fear, go and visit NazNet.com.....
Peace, let's get talking!
