Monday Reflection Week 8

The idea of reading each others rough draft and commenting on them was a great idea. Honestly, I didn’t expect much from it but ended up getting a lot of great feedbacks. The direction of the final paper was further understood and explored by the discussion. One of them was with the idea of being very specific in terms of the action plan. Since I know my context and I have the idea in my mind, I realized that I failed to be more detailed in describing the steps. One of them was to help the congregation of my church become less individualized and be more communal. The question that was raised was “how?” what are some specific steps the church need to take in order to accomplish that. This really challenges me to further reflect and think on the future action plans for the church. I realize that many times in our churches, we have great idea and plans but fail to narrow them down and come up with specific action plans. It is good to dream and idealize a concept but it is nothing if it is not taken into the real life.
