Comment by Linda Staats on August 27, 2009 at 11:14am - As one part of being a Book of Faith synod, there is the challenge to enlist 75% of our congregations as BOF Covenant congregations. I am challenging our congregations to equip 75% of one's households to be BOF Households. Hm-m-m, what does that mean? What will that look like? The resources posted earlier offer some ideas. Let us know what you are doing in your congregation to equip households.

Not only am I excited to be able to serve in the RMS, I am excited about the potential for the Book of Faith to engage households in the practices of opening scripture and joining the conversation. Below are PDF's that are resources to equip homes as Book of Faith Households. Please use, tweak and make your own. Would love to hear about your experiences.

Welcome to the conversation! Let's hear about what you do in your places of ministry (congregations, homes, camps, campuses, chaplaincies . . . wherever you walk and talk as a child of God) that draws people into deeper and broader conversation about Scripture.
What are the unique challenges you face in your setting? Particular opportunities? What role does Scripture play in your place of ministry now? What works well?
This is a place to share ideas, ask questions, and encourage one another in becoming more fluent in "our first language of faith."
I look forward to hearing from you!
