What is guiding me? Affecting some of my deepest intentions.
Perhaps, (Actually confident), we fail to discuss at length, or chat informally, about GOD stuff, much preferring to talk about sport,music, last nights TV.
Deeper stuff l have found is good to disagree about, Church is place where we should disagree. Not talking about hostile debates but how often do we say..
I did not like that Hymn..
The sermon went on too long...
It was slow and boring today..
This evening was so encourging...
Enjoyed the children's input...
Glad the youth led, gives me hope..
Seagulls used to sit on cliff face with nestlings going out to sea for catch of Fish etc...
Though still popularly regarded as seagulls, many have moved inland, far from the seaside or saltwater. They have adapted to life in many places we have made, and they have thrived.

All change, its form of reconstruction from what we feel it was, often its slow ,unnoticed. But change happens.
Faith is like that too.
Sometimes, when looking at `life of the Deconstruction Christian`, movement, it appear there are two factors.
Relationships are damaged and LIFE appears to be challenging.
Then a Faith or Church relationship falters.
The rules, Boundaries alter.
So must we, allow change. Allow new experiences. Allow others to not understand. That`s deconstruction.
But there is a privilege that states `the Church nor Church folk`can fit into an environment where mistakes happen.
When it does it becomes a `get out of Church and following Jesus ` card. Like some kind of game.
the faith heritage becomes no longer valuable and new fit is required.
New spirituality, modern one.
If faith is a steadfast part of your upbringing, here for me is the rub.
Why does deconstructing mean throwing everything out, then toxicity follows.
Always been radical ways to share Faith during dark times. Following Jesus, Church can become regenerative space of creation, questioning, growth ,development even some renewal.
