Each week that we work together, we'll try to follow the same rhythm. On Monday, the beginning of our week, I'll post some kind of meaty dilemma as the centerpiece of our reflections and learning. Often it will be a short story, or a couple of video clips, or some other form of media that we can gather around.

From Monday through Wednesday, the small groups will work their specific angle with the centerpiece using MyLutherNet small group discussion threads. Each small group will practice a different angle each week, so that by the end of our time together your group will have had a chance to work with five sets of questions/perspectives.

By Wednesday at midnight each small group will need to post to the class blog (details here) a summary of their best reflections. Part of my goal in using a class blog is to share our best thinking with the wider world.

Thursday through Friday we'll carry on a larger group discussion based on the summaries using the commenting feature on the blog, then on the following Monday we'll start with the next centerpiece. Most likely on Mondays I will also post a short video "looking back" on our work from the week before.
