Discussion: LatM Study Guide Responses

During the first half of 2012, ten home groups from across the congregation are working through the eight week Love at the Margins study guide.

Each group has been asked to submit “journal notes” following each study – a few comments, thoughts or observations emerging from their discussion.  These comments are being collated here and shared, in an attempt to help “cross-pollinate” ideas, as we seek to discern God’s leading for our church community in relation to this missional theme.

The comments are arranged by study:

1. The Margins and the Centre: God’s Heart for the Poor

2. What is the Bad News?  Poverty and the Margins

3. What is the Good News?  Jesus and the Margins

4. Who are We?  Being the Church at the Margins

5. Why?  Love at the Margins

6. The Community at the Margins

7. The Cross at the Margins

8. The New Creation at the Margins
