[Dialogue] The right question, continued

[David M Dunn]

These two questions create a clearer context in which my question ("who are we companioning and mentoring?") is revealed as one approach to creating provisional answers.

My answer to John's and Jim's questions is: 

We might all find a person(s), at least a decade younger than ourselves to journey with: living the questions, mutually mentoring each other, co-creating strategies of engagement.

I think my approach is something like: find a "we," settle in for the long haul, and co-create a new way of being together in mission. This has been Karen Bueno's strategy (or so it seems to me) at Good Shepherd United Methodist Church in Thornton, Colorado, for a very long time.
