finishing off 2010...

.... better late than never?

In the couple of sessions at the end of last year we considered equality, what is it? and is it always a good idea? we followed this up by asking the question "Is Christianity fair?". We decided that in many ways it wasn't, for example the parable of the workers in the field all getting paid the same money for working different amounts of time. Generous maybe but not "fair" as we normally understand it. Which is just how the workers at the end reacted, you can just hear them saying "but it's not fair!".

Also we we looked at a TED video Diane Benscoter on how cults rewire the brain in which she talked about her experience of joining a cult and also how she left.  It did raise the question, is the Church of England a cult? we thought probably not quite :-)
