leaving paradise.

So tomorrow we leave this temporary Christian community with its invisible organising authority and all of us wonder why we can't live like this all the time. As one comedian said tonight "I like greenbelt the labels fall off at the doorway." There is even a programme for atheists if they want it. There is certainly a sense that here is a place where we can air our doubts.
There is no final service or even gathering, it ends with a whimper not a bang as we all leave in dribs and drabs to our various jobs, we will be one of the last to leave.
Another notable idea I heard today: the best consultants refuse to consult but rather get people to find their own solutions and the best leaders refuse to lead so that others can take responsibility for what they should do.
