Second New Book Published
I have just published a book, titled Following Jesus: Perspectives From Twelve Christian Traditions, that creates a coherent synthesis of the electronic conversation (eCircle) reported on below under the title “Twelve Month Electronic Conversation Starting on August 1, 2021.”

Loving Disagreement: Rejecting Fear, Hate and Demonization
Based on recent conversations with Rob Barrett, a dear friend of many years, I will soon start posting a sequence of new Musings on my website that I originally thought might constitute a new book, but I now envision posting as new Musings in order to reach the growing number of potential readers who are more attuned to reading Blog postings (what I have named my
Musings) than books.
The title for this new sequence of Musings is given above. The sequence of Musings that I will be posting will comprise “chapter narratives” that elaborate on the above title (starting with an “introduction” and followed by chapters 1, 2, 3, etc.).
Subscribing to be Notified of New Musings
To eliminate the inconvenience of readers having to periodically check the top of my website to see if I have posted a new Musing, my Web Manager, Dan Hefferan, is creating a procedural change that will automatically inform interested readers that a new posting (a new Musing) now appears at the top of my Home Page.
If you wish to subscribe to this new service, please submit your email in the form below, and then check your email to confirm your subscription. Then, when a new musing has been posted to Respectful Conversation, you’ll receive a copy of it in your email!
Twelve Month Electronic Conversation starting on August 1, 2021
Following Jesus: Perspectives from Diverse Christian Traditions
Moderator: Harold Heie
Twelve Month Agenda
Leading Question for the first of the month (Directed to the conversation partner for the tradition being featured for the month)
What are the various views of those who worship in your tradition as to what it means to “follow Jesus” and what is the primary view?
Leading Question for the 15th of the month postings (Directed to the other eleven conversation partners)
What major agreements and disagreements do you have with the views expressed in the posting of the conversation partner who submitted the first of the month posting as to what it means to “follow Jesus,” and what have you learned from that posting that has the potential to enrich, or possibly provide a corrective, to the primary view of those who worship in your tradition as to what it means to “follow Jesus?”
Leading Question for the final day of the month posting (Directed to the conversation partner being featured for the month)
As you review the eleven 15th of the month postings from the other conversation partners, what were the main things you learned from other traditions that will be helpful to those who worship in your tradition as they seek to faithfully follow Jesus into the future
