Change Already?

As we travel across the country offering the Living the Hope events we hear stories. Some provide kindling for hope; others fall into the category of "Things that can't be that bad, but are."
A woman in her late thirties came for a job interview. The interview was held in the Christian Education building of a United Church. As it happened, the congregation was the one in which she had been raised but no longer attended.
As she passed time waiting for the interview she toured. Later she commented that everything was the same as when she was 10 years old, including the paint colour and the posters on the walls.
We live in a visual age. Sight, sound and sensation are more important than linear written text. For those between the ages of 30 and 45, meaning arises through experience and encounter. As we have heard thousands of times, people seek an experience of God, not information about God.
