We started our most recent meeting by watching a short movie from the 2008 Minneapolis Area Synod Gathering:
We then took some time to talk about the things we listened to, the things hear, but ignore and discuss some quotes from the movie:
"There are people in this world who are mute, but not because they cannot talk. But because we have closed are ears to their voices." — Pastor Luisa Cabello Hansel
"We need to lose our life in order to find it. Listening has to do with an initial process of losing yourself in the words, the ideas, the excitement, and the passion of another person. So when we give ourselves to that other person in those kinds of settings we can do great things together." — Bishop Craig Johnson
"Listen and then see if God leads you to act." — Bishop Craig Johnson
"Listening is how we show love." — Pastor Nancy Bence
