I’ve been sitting in on an online forum these past few days.
Sponsored by the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, the forum looks at various topics that are current in the church realm in Canada. I was going to say the evangelical church, but that is to restrictive.
From a good statisticians/mathematicians standpoint, online forums are great. I can figure out how many comments each issue garners. I can review each topic. I can enter into a thread of conversation that is unlike the topic that originally attracted me.
This has been an education. And a bit of feast, if I say so myself.
I’m eating lots of alphabet soup. My old dictionary is being updated with each conversation.
The topic on welcoming refugees includes acronyms I don’t know or understand. How about IRCC, SAH, CBAC, UNHCR? The topic on Engaging the LGBT+ community redefines words or parses them very minutely. Emerging Leaders thread has been trying to define what an emerging leader is – by age? by influence? by predilection? . . .
What recipe book is best suited to your life right now? What words do you know that the “general” public doesn’t know? Does that help to determine what you focus in life is?
