You
may have thought we disappeared, but the fact is that 30-50 people
responded with various subjects, times and issues for us to consider in
planning our discussions. (People come and leave, and are active and
inactive, so the number is a little fudgy). But putting the times and
topics together would take a logarithm beyond our abilities.
SO,
we are planning a variety of formats now, and we will see what comes of
it. It is still an exciting idea for many, so I hope those who are
interested are pleased.
1) Focused topics. The topics suggested are condusive to personal
experiences with spirituality and how disabilities impact our faiths. We plan for these chats to become "sanctuaries" for those who are experiencing
a crisis of faith for whatever reason, or questions of belief, or are deeply interested in exploring their belief system. This will be a small group, and attendance will eventually be limited.
MONDAYS, 8:00 PM EST, DISABOOM FAITH AND RELIGION CHAT ROOM. STARTING MONDAY, APRIL 13
2) Bible Stuff.
We are going to experiment with a different format here, because
scheduling is just impossible. We are going to host a variety of
threads, (and invite you to add your own), including Bible Trivia,
Favorite Bible Passages, Most Inspiring Passages, Weirdest Passages,
etc. Join in as you like, for those of you who enjoy Jewish and
Christian sacred scriptures.
3) Various Timely Discussions.
These will be announced as scheduled. For example, we are still
planning to provide, if there is interest, some workshop/s on
visualization and meditation, as well as other similar techniques, for
pain relief.
If
you would like to attend the MONDAY, APRIL 13th Chat, PLEASE MAKE SURE
YOU HAVE REGISTERED AND HAVE YOUR PASSWORD, AND TRIED YOUR PASSWORD TO
MAKE SURE IT WORKS.
We
know this has taken awhile, for those of you who were waiting, but the
response has been so varied, it has taken awhile to sort things out.
ENJOY!
