Your point about reading reminded me of the story of Plato, and the concerns he raised when oral culture was giving way to writing – that once you’ve written ideas down on paper and record them, you don’t have to worry about keeping them alive through constant telling and action. It’s interesting to contrast our practices of discipleship in the West (focussed on manuals and concepts, but often still struggling to be genuinely whole-life) with my one experience of visiting the church in India, which has hardly any access to literature but is growing rapidly with a heavy emphasis on accountability and mentoring relationships.Trevor Neillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9901815.post-43355764686116175182012-01-19T07:41:52.826+00:002012-01-19T07:41:52.826+00:00About the hearing ... isn't that what we do ev...About the hearing ... isn't that what we do every Sunday when we listen to sermons, so central to protestant collective worship? I propose silence instead. Renewal through discovering desert wisdom and contemplative prayer.
