It just came to me; maybe it's half-baked.

Lots of clergyfolk, seminary students, and all around insightful people read one another's blogs. How about a scripture circle? One person suggests a biblical text of his/her own choosing (not necessarily from the lectionary; in fact it would be cool if it were off the beaten path). Anyone who wants to participate would read the text and respond on their own blog, including a link in the comments of the original blog (so we all know where to look)!

We all come from different perspectives and with different lenses. Some of us do exegesis, some write poems, some may write a sermon or drama, some may be reminded of a story, some may do a stream-of-consciousness. The posts could be as short or as long as each person wanted to make them--well thought out and carefully crafted, or an unedited spill of ideas.

One of the "responders" would then be tapped to pick the next scripture text. (Not sure how that person might be chosen; we could work out the details if there is interest in this idea.) Maybe a weekly rotation would work.

It could also be a neat way to get to know some additional blogs and bloggers.

Finally, everyone would be welcome to participate. Skeptics welcome.

Thoughts?
