Thanks for the chart AVG Joe.

Buber's "I and thou" is inadequate.

Our God embodies the very making of space for the Other Other.

That is why a couple who are interested in mentoring those outside the nuclear family to maturity are open to life (fruit)

(If they've enough children they can still pray)

Anyone should share in helping the maturing of all.

Some don'ts:

- don't forget to introduce and reintroduce the shy to everybody
- don't dump someone on someone you thought they already knew

Please share friendships!

That is why the pastor that doesn't just arrange things for his favourite young person behind the backs of the other elders who could have added their discernment for the benefit of the young 'un, is a better pastor to his fellows and to everyone

One hears so much about passionate sentimental (neurotic) "commitment" to one person - to the exclusion of who?

Ascending He distributed gifts differing - and this is grace abounding.
