Conference Room
Please consider the following reflective questions before coming to our group conversation. They are intended to open your mind, memories, and emotions regarding some aspects of this session’s topic. They are not intended as homework, to research, nor are there “right” answers. These are for your preparation alone unless you wish to share them. Consider keeping a private journal of your answers. These are just to get you primed for the subject of the day, to use our time together to its best advantage.
What words, images, memories and experiences do you associate with the word salvation?
Sin is another problematic word for many.
What is your current understanding of this word?
How has that changed from earlier years?
What influential forces shaped the way you see God, afterlife, salvation, sin and faith today?
When were the times in your life that you would say, in the words of Psalm 23, that you were in “the darkest valley”?
What made it possible for you to move beyond that time?
If you are still in that time, in what ways do you feel accompanied?
What images, symbols, words, rituals and practices support you on the way?
