Are we prepared to be "judgmental" and exclude people?(Yes! Yes!) How do we judge "faithful to the Magisterium"? Or is it a Catholic Online Book Club for that Bunch of Us who Hang Around on Twitter instead of Doing Good Works? ;-)<br /><br />It might be a good idea to set out from the start that the only "books" to be discussed are available online.<br /><br />I'm happy for Ben to do all the work, choosing things to read, thinking up questions, moderating, excluding, taking abuse, etc, but, unaccountably, he seems less keen - how do we set something up to let a bunch of "people like us" lead. Anybody who has led #twitterangelus? ;-) (Twitch eye tonight)<br /><br />(And if you like listening to stories and have a spare twenty minutes listen to <a href="http://podcast.cbc.ca/mp3/podcasts/vinylcafe_20120331_52548.mp3" rel="nofollow">this mp3</a> from Canada about a book club experience that goes wrong! Start at 17:45, or maybe listen to the first bit as well, which talks about other book clubs.)Ttonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15185875893212146794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253865779660854699.post-23381391120065062942012-05-02T18:06:33.335+01:002012-05-02T18:06:33.335+01:00;)
