An order for Theological Reflection

The sound of footsteps is heard, growing louder, echoing down the Corridor of Uncertainty.  The Procession for Theological Reflection enters the Moot House from the Corridor, and advances to the Worship Focus (a large mirror*)

The procession consists of:

Tea Lightifer

Bearer of the Staff

First Reflector              Second Reflector

The First and Second Reflectors are clad in their shiniest hi-viz, and also hi-viz trousers, for maximum reflection.


The Bearer of the Staff bangs the Staff three times on the floor.

First and Second Reflectors:  Jurgen Moltmann!

[Or, as it may be, Elizabeth Schussler Fiorenza; Karl Barth; or Søren Aabye Kierkegaard)

The Procession turns round, and exits via the Corridor of Uncertainty.  The sound of echoing footsteps is heard dying away.

* We use a Large Mirror as the worship focus as a reminder that, used without care, discipline and challenge, Theological Reflection will reveal one thing only - oneself.
