Reviewed proposed vision statement
-developing relationships, what is expected?
-one idea is to relate to others who are different
-what is the false dichotomy between evangelism and peace and justice
-are we doing this through our daily lives or do we intentionally evangelize?
-The third vision statement seems focused on joining in the diversity of our community
-Yoga mantra: Discipline is remembering what you desire
-Be who you say you're going to be
-The document may not have words that precisely descibe our intentions for our vision, however there may be enough room to interpret how we carry it out
-Is there a difference between being and doing
-There isn't a consistent definition of the God experience
