Friendship

I'm starting to crystallize my thoughts on the friendship talks coming up in July.

Here are some tentative headings - four for four talks. Tell me if you think I'm missing something important.

God
The theology of friendship, Trinity as community, value of friendship in the Bible, what is friendship for? Life without fellowship is empty.

Belonging
What is friendship anyway? The different kinds of friendship. The different ways to belong to a community. Practical tips for making friends

You
What sort of a friend are you? What sort of character do you need to have to be the best friend possible? What kinds of friends do you choose?

Tricky Questions
Power in relationships. When to say goodbye. When is a friendship not healthy. Can guys and girls be friends? Dating, marriage and friendship.
