Reflection Questions:
- What made for successful collaborations in the video?
- How have you experienced God collaborating in your own life?
- In what ways can you imagine God inviting your congregation to participate in a collaboration in our Diocese?
Group Scriptural Study (especially Lectio Divina): While scripture can be studied alone, practices like group Lectio Divina are explicitly collaborative. The group reads a passage, and each person shares the word or phrase that stood out to them. The goal is not to debate but to collectively listen for what God is saying to the community through the combined insights of its members.
The Agape Feast (or Lovefeast): This practice revives the love meals of the early church, which were full, communal meals that expressed fellowship, unity, and mutual care. They are distinct from the sacrament of Communion but share its spirit of sacred community.
