* Spiritual resource for Bible study and reflection/discussion
prior to church meetings * Passages deal with common issues of
group life (conflict, change, leadership, vision, burnout) After
years as a member of parish staffs and as a congregational and
diocesan consultant, Judith Carlson became increasingly aware how
seldom Bible study or some spiritual component is incorporated into
church meetings. Even when they want to, busy lay people worry it
will take "too much time" or aren't sure what scripture to use or
fear they "don't know enough" about the Bible. Clergy too, despite
good intentions, often have trouble finding time to prepare
something. This simple model provides a way to add the missing (and
needed) spiritual dimension. First Order of Business contains 36
brief sessions, 12 minutes a piece. Each has a scripture passage
and three open-ended reflection questions-open-ended to fit a
variety of situations (though not automatically suggesting "right
answers") and allowing some genuine reflection in a non-threatening
way. Carlson's hope is that allowing "space" for the Spirit's
presence can transform ordinary "business as usual" into a broader,
more spiritual context for a group's work of mission or ministry.
