Church as a community of conversation
Conversation has always been a significant part of the Christian tradition. The ecumenical councils of the first millennium were a great example of this. Similarly, the Roman Catholic councils continued this practice throughout the second millennium. Conversation was also a central concept in the Protestant Reformation. Huldrych Zwingli, a Reformation theologian, argued for a practice called “The Rule of Paul”-congregational worship rooted in the habits of conversation and sharing. The early Anabaptists also had a strong belief in this practice.
Riftan
Maxi and Riftan are in love, but each is preoccupied with his own anxieties. They don’t know what the other person needs. Their love causes them to succumb to their fears.
