This morning it was my turn to lead our adult Zoom Sunday school class. We all take turns so I only need to lead the class twice a year. These classes (a program called Wired Word) deal with contemporary issues and are a conversation rather than a lecture format. Today's discussion dealt with accumulated stuff and how we deal with it, and was supposed to lead into a look at global excess and possible solutions. We didn't quite get that far. Everyone had a story to tell about their down-sizing or cleaning out their parent's homes after deaths, and so on. Everybody had a story but what was interesting was that along with sharing the horrors of what they had to deal with (the hoarder next door neighbor was the worst) they shared their solutions, and they were all different. And something good actually came out of it. It was decided that our church's "green team" should create a list of all the solutions people mentioned, to be shared with the congregation. I think it's a great idea, and I'm really glad I'm not on that committee.
