We heard two speakers - one who did not have his PowerPoint and did it as best he could from memory. His content was truly intriguing, citing Bible verses that are not usually used to frame a conversation around diakonia. For instance, Abraham - blessed, to be a blessing. I would have liked to have heard more as the content was delivered quite fast with little to support our 'hearing'. The speaker assured us we would have access to his notes and PowerPoint. After the second speaker, we resumed our group discussions from the day before. Thankfully, the process had been refined so that each group only had one question at a time. There is a person who will collate all the responses into a statement. It's an interesting if somewhat dissatisfying process in that there is no opportunity to influence the fundamental questions and assumptions, but groups simply provide some feedback into an existing framework and questions. I wondered about how 'open space technology' could be used helpfully at WCC Assemblies.
