Current thinking - teach all religions. I say abolish it all

[smallStops]

imo, a believer would better keep the concept of sins within her-/him-self.

If anyone wants to introduce a new law in order to ask other people to follow, perhaps (s)he should become a politician first, in a democratic country.

Those who do these retreats have one goal usually : go deep into their psychology/spirituality to sort out things. They don't go and do retreat to change laws, but to better themselves. In the same way, there are no laws to force people to do some sports ( specifically for super obese people), but still some go to the sport center and others don't.

dhamma.org retreats have their own conceptual framework to get the job done.
St Ignace retreats do also have their own conceptual framework to get the job done.

As you are into peacebuilding, do not hesitate to use these very effective tools ( but do start with the dhamma.org first). And feel free to finance poor people to go and do these retreats: you'll see for yourself how they will , as "miraculously" , manage to handle their financial liabilities from their own efforts.

Ideally, home group should be the natural form of structure that could be also used during Jesus' time, I would imagine.

The place of meeting could be rotated in order not only to bring/provide needed warm food/ clothes and housewares, plus certain needed physical and spiritual supports, to some poor families' homes who might be non-believers or disabled/sick.

(poor family people would possibly have hesitation going to rich houses, particularly perhaps no food to bring for sharing)

(especially a homeless would feel much much easier to go to a poor old house for food and staying, other than eagerly wanting to hear some uplifting messages according to Jesus teachings)

But also the followers of Jesus during the time would have to avoid government's tracking of their meeting places in order to escape life-threat prosecution due to any brave and honest admission of believing in Jesus.

The later development of a large organisation/institution about Jesus is now a history for people to study Why.

The poor and homeless would seldom easily dare to go into a magnificent church building!

Worst, after all, no real food/bread for filling hunger is supplied inside a big church building, except artificial Holy Meal!!!

Q http://beforeitsnews.com/alternativ...reated-islam-and-why-they-did-so-3109298.html

“The great untapped source of manpower that could do this job was the children of Ishmael. The poor Arabs fell victim to one of the most clever plans ever devised by the powers of darkness. Early Christians went everywhere with the gospel setting up small churches, but they met heavy opposition. Both the Jews and the Roman government persecuted the believers in Christ to stop their spread. But the Jews rebelled against Rome, and in 70 AD, Roman armies under General Titus smashed Jerusalem and destroyed the great Jewish temple which was the heart of Jewish worship…in fulfillment of Christ’s prophecy in Matthew 24:2.

“On this holy place today where the temple once stood, the Dome of the Rock Mosque stands as Islam’s second most holy place. Sweeping changes were in the wind. Corruption, apathy, greed, The persecution against Christians was useless as they continued to lay down their lives for the gospel of Christ.
