Dream Lectio

Since the beginning of Advent I have been trying to follow Liverpool's Dream Community 'Dream Lectio'.

The point being:
1. This is a new and very simple blog. ‘Dream Lectio’ (based on the ancient monastic practise of meditative reflective reading)
2. Every day there is a very short bible passage posted onto it. As it was advent when we began, we started with Matthew and are working our way through the New Testament.
3. Occasionally there will be a particular tool or approach to bible reading and study.
4. Whenever anyone has a thought, questions, insight, frustration, etc they can add it as a comment on that day’s post, for others to read and respond to. Ground rules are that nothing is too simple to ask or to outrageous and heretical to express. Everyone’s contribution is valuable.

It has been an interesting way of doing both private mediation and a virtual bible study. Do give it a go.

Thanks Ellen. Always something new and/or entertaining on your blog. Do you know if they're doing a series of readings for Lent?

I think the plan is just to keep going until we stop...so yes most probably. Do email Richard (dream blogger).
