thanks for the feedback everyone. Seems pretty unanimous. lets go for Mark next and slow down to one passage per week. Obviously though feel free to revisit it and add comments more than once if you get the urge.

As an official guilty party who has not yet re-started being a part of the dream lectio, i also feel a slower pace would help me to keep up and give these readings the attention they deserve!

I echo all the comments so far - one or two passages a week would be great and give a good chance for us all to reflect on them and offer any comments, insights, etc. Fewer passages per week would certainly work better for my haphazard devotional life!!

Thank you Richard. I would really appreciate it if we went a bit slower then I wouldn’t feel quite so guilty on the days that I miss! Have really benefitted from the passages I’ve read and enjoy reading the comments (this is my first). Keep up the wonderful work please.

I agree with Alison and Bethan too! A passage a week would give me more opportunity to meditate more on THAT one when I’m sooooo busy - rather than having to hop onto the next one before having chance to comment. PLEEEEEEAAAAAASSSE don’t pack it in altogether or cut it down more than that tho’. I really DOES focus me and make sure I DO “read the Bible” despite how busy I am. Maybe a slower pace WOULD encourage more comments - I am always DELIGHTED if someone has left a comment for me to think about. It’s a fab job you’re doing Richard - and VERY much appreciated. God’s really using it in my life.

I agree with Alison. Would be nice to have a bit longer to ‘chew the fat’. I did a week of guided prayer recently and was surprised by how much came out of one small passage when I ’sat’ with it for a few days. (Not literally! It was a ‘retreat in daily life’!). We can always increase the number of passages per week later if it loses momentum/ goes too slow.
I’d really like to do Mark next too.

Going slower would work for me - sometimes I’ve tried to catch up, maybe wanted to comment on something a couple of days ago but its not seemed worth it because that one’s gone now and we’re on to the next one. Maybe a bit longer would give more chance for discussion..
