The 2007 Celtic Soliton Sessions will be held during the first week of February. Their theme this year is dangerous living. They make the following observation on the website:
Our traditions are stories of dangerous lives: prophets critiqued dangerously, apostles spoke dangerously, and the early church fathers lived dangerously. Jesus inspired life practices that launched a new society both critical of and dangerous to the present order. 2007’s Soliton Sessions are an invitation to rediscover this alternative society.
We often try to make Christianity a safe, secure, unadventurous place to hang out. We are comfortable there. Jesus, however, did not call us to be comfortable. Jesus calls people to follow him with the promise of persecution, hardship and oppostion. Jesus lived dangerously. The apostles lived dangerously. The prophets lived dangerously. Where do we arrive at the idea that we do not need to live dangerously?
