I found out the clip was done by someone who of course supports the "Moot" community who were primarily focused on in the clip, so perhaps it was biased, which is why I added the 2nd. <br /> I think they highlight the difficulty of "fresh expressions", where one can be successful, another can fail because it crosses boundaries that are maybe not biblically sound. I am not sure about the labyrinth thing either and it has too many pagan connotations for me to advocate it. Certainly something that can be looked at. Some may see it as Christianity REDEEMING what the "world" has stolen. Still it is a fine line. >Hi rus, yeah, I also had mixed feelings about the 1st one and unfortunately haven't seen the whole program myself.

I really like the second video while the first one leaves me a little uncomfortable. Perhaps it was the labyrinth. It seemed quite "mystical." Of course, I'm not seeing the whole picture by seeing one 6 minute segment, so perhaps it doesn't look quite as "Pagan" as it appeared. >Thanks.
