Prayer Labyrinth and New Buddhism


The Prayer Path has been up and running now for a couple days. I don't know why it was changed from Labyrinth to Path, maybe Labyrinth has too many scary Minotaurs connected to it like David Bowie. And to tag off of Daniel's excellent news, this is a small, humble way to experience an ancient practise here in our very big, modern, faceless building (godblessit!) .

Also, I found this paper on the way of Jesus as New Buddhism. I was a little raw from the small view of Buddhism (but I suppose if it is limited to popular Thai Buddhism then it is excusable) and I didn't exactly like the wording of a God who owns Heaven and decides who can get in and who doesn't but these are minor little semantics I'm splitting. It is an interesting viewpoint of how to do evangelism and how culture interacts with the Good News (or the Dharma). Check it out.

Sorry Makeesha,

It is set up at Faith Evangelical Free Church in Ft. Collins (on Shields St). Sadly, we are mostly known as "the church with the big fricken' cross on it" rather than "that church that has irrevocably changed ft. collins for the better." But we as a group are striving toward the latter description.

The hours are 11:30-2:30 and 6-9pm on Friday, Saturday it's open 10:30-2:30. It really is a rich, unique experience.
