Bruce Gourley's Visit
Posted: Mon Jan 29, 2018 11:11 am
Bruce is onto a movement that he calls the "Jesus Worldview". Read about it at ; read the pull down menus at the top. I think he is onto something important to our faiths and to the church as a whole. Brief summary: We as the church need to focus more on Jesus’s teachings and less on creeds/mental ascent. More on a nurturing faith and less on authoritative strictures.
He gave an outstanding set of lectures/discussion time at my church. They were received very well by those who attended (but the audience was less than I had hoped). My pastor says we will take that message and emphasize it in the near future.
We also had a great time with talk and playing games - a passion particularly with my wife.
What I learned about Bruce:
- he loves games (I think Splendor was his favorite)
- he eats very healthy foods (oatmeal for breakfast - but he did come/ate to our family night potluck).
- he knows a lot of the emerging scientific scene - quantum computing, minisolar-powered rockets
He is exploring having a BL get together at some point maybe on Jekyll Island this spring.
He just left and we had a great time.
