DR. RON MARTOIA is hosting the second module of a learning community call III:TEXT and is gearing up for the third module to begin in February of 2008. If you embark upon this new experiment, you will be at the ground floor of a new ground swell of learning and training in the 21st century. A group of people from all over the world will meet online and then in real life to work on the three texts that shape all we do. When these three converge, the leader/learner will experience deep transformative change and understand how to journey with others in the same process.

the III:TEXTs

I. BIBLICAL TEXT - Understand the elegant sweep of the story it tells. Engage the broader brush strokes of the biblical narrative so together we become better equipped to invite others to allow God's story to shape and intersect theirs.

II. CONTEXT- Become semioticians; readers of the signs of the times. Grapple with the questions that are a part of the cultural container in which we have been invited to bring the news flash of the message of Jesus.

III. HUMAN TEXT - Delve into the human text of personal and collective narration. What is your story? What is our story? What are people telling themselves these days?. What are personal development issues, heart passions, spiritual practices? What issues, hurts and pains do we face and what does that mean to how we translate the message of the news flash Jesus came to announce?
