The Awareness Course

The Awareness Course is expected to be the most revolutionary experience in Christian self-development since the Alpha Course.

So says the Anglican Communion website. The Archbishop is commending it. There doesn’t seem to be much online about it, though I eventually dug out the Trinity Foundation for Christianity and Culture which explains everything and has a YouTube video which I found too jerky to watch.

Everyone seems to me making up a course these days. I think I might make one of my own. If you let me know the sort of subjects that you’d like included I’ll see whether I can draw up some sort of syllabus. It doesn’t just have to be Christian sorts of things, we could have household hints, perhaps a bit of road safety and whatever you’d like.

    I think your postcard how to make church brilliant gives you the perfect title! It could be based largely around the content of your cartoons, I think I could work.
    I’ve got to go out now, I’ve just had a call from the local book shop and my order has just arrived!!!! I’m so excited!!!!

    Thanks for blogging your house-moving adventures. Kept me sane thinking about mine. My entire world is now in boxes, apart from the stuff that wouldn’t fit and the expensive stuff that professionals are going to pack. Lost the box labelled theology. The one labelled humour isn’t where I left it either. Maybe I disconnected it accidentally.

    All these courses tend to promote just one way of looking at things. But this is the postmodern world – it’s pick ‘n’ mix nowadays. So how about a course that allows its students to do just that. You take different standpoints and beliefs from the various parts of the Church (worldwide and locally) and, with humourous illustrations (def. your dept.) list them like the “Gospels Parellels” book. Then we could choose which bits we like – a truly personalised religion for the 21st. Century.

    I notice that our local Tesco is steadily building up its range of Belgian beers. I badly need some instruction on Belgian beers – how to get the top off – taste experience – how are they made – taste experience – where the brewerereries are – taste experience – how to avoid arrest when intoxicated in charge of a superkermat lorrey, and so on.

    Do you think you could fix this for us ?

    I’d like to take a workshop based on your cartoon, My Life Broken Down Into Segments, in which we’d learn how to make big segments of our lives that are too time-comsuming, smaller and how to enlarge the fun segments that are too small.

    I think an awareness course sounds like a great idea. There are some days I certainly need to be more aware and generally awake!

    Of course we could probably all think of a teenager or older person who could do with being more aware of the people around them, too.

    However, perhaps the course encourages us to be aware of the Second Coming, or simply that there is a train coming in on platform no. 8.

    I’m tired and I think it might be starting to show, so my best bet is to stop being aware of anything for the next eight hours. Good night! :)
