Hi Jonny, First, I think discussing Christian Practice is very important. Buddhism is all about a practice - both individually (meditation) and in a group (sangha). A Christian practice at least structurally is no different. Buddhists seek to be awake and present to Reality - so do Progressive Christians. We can utilize our tradition of indepth study, singing, metaphoricdal translation of scripture, and an honest sharing among friends - all in a group setting. We also profit from individual meditation, prayer, silence, etc. We should utilize Buddhist meditation techniques. I am sure there are some powerful contemplative Spirit traditions that were developed by historic Christians in Ireland. At any rate, a small Christian group (we call it a Christian Resurgence Circle) is about being present to life, to Reality, to the issues of our time, and not about reinforcing a set of beliefs. The best way to organize such a group is to invite people that you know have a similar interest to an initial gathering and discuss the idea of trying such a group by meeting weekly for three months. You can find some more ideas at Realisticliving.org. These are some ideas. The Next Chrsitianity is about experimenting with new forms. Peace, HHM
