selected translations from the scribbles:

* riffing on the idea of reimagining the Kingdom of God (emmsy and stewart have lots on this..)
* we’re the translation that matters.
* we’ve seen the transition into the “emerging financial” market (although Brian didn’t extend the metaphor to any “crashes” that might happen!)
* Another slice to the pie or a ring on the tree?
* Interestingly the Catholic communities who took Vatican II seriously are probably some of the best placed people in this transition
* Doug Gay – Interesting to see the word “capitalism” itself re-entering the public domain – where previously the only people who used it were mostly hard-lefties.
* getting beyond growth. Development without growth – the idea that a developing economy could be measured in some terms other than continual expansion. Noting that divorce could be considered an economic growth for the economy – two house, two cars required, etc.
* “Post-denominational?” – Doug Gay notes that denominations are worked examples of power and decision making structures.
* being agents of the future – getting ahead of the pack, calling people forward to something, rather restraining them from going where we don’t want them to go.
* “Critical Mass in Scotland”
* Understatement – be more than it seems or seem more than it is (this in reaction for the search of the next big thing)
