Adventure #1 - Sacramentality | Week 3

Accident or Gift?
Dr. Terry Nelson-Johnson

Our Adventure hinges on our willingness to pause and take this question seriously: Is this whole thing – emphasis on WHOLE – An accident or a gift? 

On the surface, this question might be dismissed as cute, trite, or simple – it is none of these.  This question stands at the heart and epicenter of our Adventure.

If we answer: This WHOLE thing is a Gift – then Grace IS the GIFT! Grace is the word we use to inadequately declare the mystery that there is something rather than nothing; that Life is meaningful rather than absurd . . . that there are endless Adventures to be embarked on. Thus, our holy and treacherous privilege this year is to explore and experience, to risk and to trust, to utterly and recklessly bet our Lives on the Gift of Grace.
During Our First Adventure we invite you to stretch your imagination and see how Grace is working in the people, places, and situations around you. These are the prompts that were introduced at our first Base Camp event which you can re-watch here:  https://youtu.be/O-bxU_KnRBU
