  • Example of how sometimes it takes the less likely brave soul to start a movement http://bit.ly/O9m2Z #
  • seems like a quite elaborated stunt to me. after all marketing have been equated to storytelling. i won’t be surprised if it’s all a gimmick #

Mapping the Divine Week

 

According to the Mustard Seed Alternative Calendar this week is Mapping the Divine Week.

Take a map of your neighborhood/City (you can get this thru Google Maps) And for the extent of this week mark those areas in which you and others in your community and/or neighborhood encounter the Divine . It can be a coffeeshop where people can gather and feel welcome, a homeless shelter where people are provided with a roof and food, a park where you enjoy nature, a hospital, a friends house, beach, church, work place et cetera. Keep the map with you and mark where you encounter the Divine. Keep a record of thoughts, words, poems, images or other things that comes to your mind as you look for God in your neighborhood. 

We invite you to do this with a group, in community. At the end of the week have a potluck party and share with your group where did you find God in your neighborhood this week.  

Leave a comment here at the end of the week I would like to know how was your experience mapping the Divine.
