Q introduces us to worship at the house church called Elsewhere.
First, he draws contrasts between worship at Elsewhere and more traditional churches.
Then he speaks about those who are marginalized . . . those who are not readily accepted by the dominant culture . . . be they the early Christians or those gathered at Elsewhere.
Finally, this Dialogue is about finding hope in one's present circumstances by having a vision about how today might relate to the (distant?) future.
If you feel marginalized, are there groups where you feel "at home?" If you're a part of the dominant culture, is your church or some other group you're a part of welcoming to those who are "different?" Should they be? Or would this mean they'd lose their identity?
What do you make of Chuck's take on The Book of Revelation? Does that make more sense than Harold Camping's?
What sort of vision for the future (if any) encourages you in your work/play/living today?
If you worshipped at Elsewhere, would you find it satisfying? Missing something? Etc. . . . .
