Interesting reflection from Arthur Davis on the ‘Quiet Time’:
Of course, there’s a place for personal Bible reading — and the Church has a rich heritage of contemplative practice that goes way back before mass-produced Bibles appeared. But there is no good reason to expect private reading to be the most important way of accessing the Bible.
Reading the Bible with others is not just acceptable. It’s great. The Bible is a library of community documents crying out to be accessed in all sorts of social ways.
So let’s change the question: What would it look like if we actively treated the Bible as inseparable from community?
What do you think?
