Some Notes

In reaching others, it is important to create liminal space (space in between the lines), where there is mutual interaction bewtween their world and ours. In this space, three things are important to remember:

1. Legitimacy- have a (good) reason to be there
2. Longevity- the need to have repeat conversations...move from microwave to marination
3. Linkage- get to Jesus, his death and resurrection

Throughout this it is important to ask questions. People always answer truthfully (at least on the inside).
