Reading: Section II From Popularity to Ministry Another great section of the book, with much to ponder! We have had such wonderful discussions already I am confident of another great week ahead. For those of you who are just joining, I've provided some discussion questions to get us going. Feel free to share reflections on them, or to share what resonated with you. In the beginning of this section Henri articulates the fact that the "stardom and individual heroism which are such obvious aspects of our competitive society are not at all alien to the church." Yet, "Jesus makes it clear that ministry is a communal and mutual experience.... We cannot bring good news on our own." 1) Why do you think Jesus so clearly commands us to minister in pairs? 2) What are some difficulties/benefits you've encountered working in pairs/small groups? Henri goes on to talk about how ministry is not only a communal experience, it is a mutual experience. He contrasts this to the more common style of ministry which is an "us helping them" mentality, which "quickly becomes a subtle way of exercising power over others..." 4) For those of you who have worked in an institutionalized social service setting (often very important) or a ministry setting which clearly follows the rules of "us helping them," what affect does this model have on those being served? Examples? He then suggests that "A whole new type of leadership is asked for in the church of tomorrow, a leadership which is not modeled on the power games of the world, but on the servant leader, Jesus, who came to give his life for the salvation of many." 5) What do imagine this looks like in practice? 6) Can you give specific examples of when you've seen this mutuality in ministry being practiced? What affect does this model have on those being served? Finally, Henri states that the key discipline which will allow us to move towards this model Christian leadership is that of confession and forgiveness. 7) Is the discipline of confession "alive and well" in your personal life? In your church? 8) What holds you back? What are some practical ways to grow in this discipline? 9) What are some cautions to keep in mind when growing in this discipline? 10) How can we support those leading us to be able to walk in the discipline of confession and forgiveness? (really think through this one)

Buy elavil C.O.D, Henri Nouwen has long been known for his poignant, insightful books that are short, easy-to-read yet full of content. I would describe Henri Nouwen as a person who has a gift for sharing brief yet powerful “nuggets” of information and words of wisdom that, for many people, last a lifetime, No Prescription amoxicillin.

One obvious example of Henri Nouwen’s concise use of language is the fact that this very short book (totaling less than 40 pages!) ends with a one paragraph chapter. Here, Discount effexor Without Prescription, however, on page 37 we find one sentence that summarizes much of the wisdom shared in the preceding pages: "In ministering to each other, each from the riches that he or she possesses, we work together for the full coming of God’s Kingdom."

What concluding words would you like to share with the group, Discount prozac Online. Is there a particular “piece of wisdom” you find in this book that strikes you as being particularly relevant to the task of fundraising as ministry. If someone were to ask you “What have you learned from Henri Nouwen, Topamax No Rr, what would you say?”

Many of you have shared your thoughts over the past seven weeks while others have observed and listened. I look forward to all of your closing thoughts during this final week.
-Henry

Generic norvasc, Jaree Weeks has agreed to serve as moderator for this week’s discussion regarding prayer and gratitude.
To start us off, Jaree offered the following reflection regarding Chapter 6.--Henry

In the previous chapter, accupril On Line, Henri may have reached the “core” of his teachings by making the connection between “spirituality” and “community” but in this chapter he explains to us that it is prayer and gratitude that is the foundation of every action in the fundraising cycle. Discount propecia Online, “Prayer is the radical starting point of fund-raising because in prayer we slowly experience a reorientation of all our thoughts and feeling about ourselves and others.” It is through prayer that we feel the connection to the source or essence of who we are individually and collectively when we take time for prayer and express our gratitude we remove the stumbling blocks discussed in previous chapters concerning attitudes towards fundraising. We should have a sense of gratitude that God has provided us with a life of abundance.

Henri says “From beginning to end, seroquel No Rr, fundraising as a ministry is grounded in prayer and undertaken in gratitude.” It is through prayer that we overcome all of the previous questions raised in the booklet. Propecia No Rr, What are some of your thoughts on this important chapter?--Jaree

Cheap penisole Online, Perhaps no other chapter in this little book is “closer to the core” of where the author connects with his readers. Whenever you hear a reference to Henri Nouwen, two words almost invariably come to mind: “spirituality” and “community”. Indeed, Cheap nasonex, Henri’s understanding of God’s Calling as a theologian and author cannot easily be understood by the rest of us without these two words.

In Bread for the Journey Henri states “Community is first of all a quality of the heart. Cheap buspar Overnight Delivery, It grows from the spiritual knowledge that we are alive not for ourselves but for one another.” In this context it is easy to understand why The Spirituality of Fund-Raising devotes an entire chapter to fundraising as far more about “the building of community” and far less about asking for money.

Chapter 5 opens with the statement “People have such a need for friendship and for community that fund-raising has to be community-building”, Cheap penisole Online. To open our conversation, please offer your reflections on this one sentence in light of the following three questions:

1. How does this statement resonate with your experience of fund-raising, atopex Without Prescription.
2. Do “fund-raising” and “community-building” go hand-in-hand from your experience. Cheap penisole Online, 3. Generic kamagra, What words of wisdom might you have to share regarding community-building and Henri’s statement that “Community is first of all a quality of the heart”.

Please also feel free to return to previous postings both to learn from what others have shared and offer your own reflections. If new to the blog, please take a few moments to share a little about yourself in the “Getting Starting—About You” section below.

As we enter the second half of our six-week discussion of Henri Nouwen’s The Spirituality of Fund-Raising Anafranil Side Effects, , I took a few minutes to review the long, extensive, and “rich” list of comments so many of you provided in the “Getting Started—About You” section several weeks ago. What impressed me is that many of you—from your reading of The Spirituality of Fund-Raising and other works by Henri Nouwen—have a lot to share about how Henri’s work has already impacted on your experience with fundraising .., Buy synthroid Online. Cardura Online Without Prescription, so much so that several of you have already bought multiple copies of the book to share with colleagues.
While I hope you will continue to respond to our regular “each Thursday” assignment of a specific reading, Order combivir C.O.D, Cheap diflucan Online, I want to ask each of you to take a few moments simply to share:

a) why you have found this particular book (and any other work by Henri) to be helpful to your understanding of fundraising and/or

b) why you would (or perhaps would not) recommend The Spirituality of Fund-Raising to others.

Based on what I read in the words of wisdom you shared when you joined the blog, this should be a rich and rewarding discussion.
- Henry
