    I certainly agree with passive learning… I have called it ‘knowledge Grazing’ in a book I’m working on at the moment…. There’s a bit about this here… http://www.agent4change.net/grapevine/platform/2050-hungry-for-learning-knowledge-grazing-fits-the-bill.html

    And for the church, well, maybe the passive learning paradigm is good. You already post the vid of the sermon for folks to watch again and digest – the number of questions people ask you or points they raise with you about the sermon after watching it again would perhaps be an indication as to how much passive church-type learning is taking place?

      That you can find people interested in your own Very Specific Areas of Interest…a good thing but of course encourages you in your idiosyncracies which is less good

        Ah. I see why I didn’t understand at first Margaret. What I was suggesting was precisely the opposite of what you are saying. I think I learn about all kinds of things (spiritual and otherwise) that I never expected to learn through following interesting people online who have quite different interests to my own.

  • Time for an Ascensiontide hymn

    [youtube:http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=F83nC4H5koU] And whilst you are listening to it, you can have a ponder as to what on earth (or in heaven) is going on over at Kimberly’s blog.

    Just to note that there is a bumper Evensong on Sunday 4 May 2008 [NB Corrected date!] at 6.30 pm in St Mary’s. You get two choirs for the price of one as St Mary’s Cathedral Choir are being joined by Glasgow University Chapel Choir. These are two of the most exciting liturgical choirs in…

  • The Listening Day

    To Stirling today for the Scottish Episcopal Church’s day of listening. Quite a lot of the day was food for thought though it would not be appropriate to blog about the people or the stories involved. In the end I was generally glad that I was there though sometimes still frustrated by the process. It…
