With Thomas Bandy's forthcoming visit to Oz, Rob Bos thought it would be good to get some discussion going on his contribution.
Bandy is going to Qld, SA and Vic in June - July. He is sponsored by UCIS Qld, Uniting Church Investment Fund (SA) and UCA Funds Management, Vic, as well as MediaCom.
Some reactions to Thomas Bandy's Kicking Habits: Welcome Relief for Addicted Churches (Abingdon, 2001).
I wouldn't dare trying to address or comment on the theological problems and queries which Rob raised regarging "Kicking Habits".
However, I resonate with Bandy's analogy of Bob and Sally Newchristians' experience being like a game of croquet - i.e. a series of hoops which must be passed through, in a prescribed order, before gaining acceptance, membership or whatever - with the omni-present danger of being croqueted to the edge of the lawn, at any time during the game, by a more experienced player.
