It is easy to dismiss the medieval idea of Hell because we don't like it, or because of what it says about God. But we hope to address the idea on the basis of exegesis. Our starting point will be a series of posts on Andrew Perriman's blog postost.net. http://www.postost.net/2010/05/narrative-premise-post-christendom-theology http://www.postost.net/2015/06/10-good-reasons-switch-narrative-historical-hermeneutic-it-s-too-late http://www.postost.net/2014/09/narrative-historical-method-outline

Nicola Phelan will facilitate discussion on those experiences that are common to all people whether of faith or no faith. Some may call them 'spiritual' or 'mystical' or a 'peak experience' but they seem to have common elements and often can change ones understanding of our relationships with each other and the world around us. Marcus Borg's own experience will be quoted and other articles circulated prior to the meeting that make reference to the experiential. The format will be as with the last meeting so we can listen attentively to each other and then open to wider discussion.

It will include a) Protecting your familyâs nest egg with practical help and advice on how to protect as much of your wealth as possible for future generations. b) inheritance tax; c) inheritance after re-marriage, d) Lasting Powers of Attorney: No one wants to think about what will happen if they become unable to make decisions themselves through illness, an accident or old age. However doing so now and having LPAs in place will remove the burden from your family and help reduce the stress and cost to your family at a very difficult time.
