This section in Eugene Peterson\u2019s book, Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places<\/em>, deals with how the fear-of-the-Lord is developed in history: Peterson suggests it occurs through Eucharist and Hospitality.
\nThe Eucharist:
\nTwo elements: remembrance and proclamation. The Eucharist anchors us in the depths of God\u2019s work in history and prevents us from turning the faith into devotional exercises. It emphasizes a not-doing but a taking. And then the elements of sacrifice and ritual and shape come in. Four words shape the Eucharist: take, bless, break, and give.
\nHospitality:
\nPeterson brings in the problem we have with meals which have been deconstructed in our modern world.
\nWell, I\u2019ve not found much of interest in this section, and I\u2019m wondering if those who are reading Peterson with me did. If so, chime in; if not, I\u2019ll take your silence as a comment on the future of this series.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
