		<description>I have had both overseas and higher education experiences, and they have certainly contributed to who I am.  I think it's hard to pinpoint my influences - it feels like an organic maturing experience in which I understand more and more that the world is an incredibly complex and messy place, but our contribution to it - and our efforts at helping to encourage a sustainable, just, and loving world are born out of simple desires to engage our neighbours in loving, mutually respectful ways.

I have come to believe that I will never stop learning (at least I never want to), and at the heart of learning is being able and willing to ask questions.  Questions are therefore rarely threatening or scary, but are essential to my growth.  Thus, the more I seek to grow, the more I am willing and able to ask questions.

The church hasn't often been a place where I have felt free to ask questions, but it also often feels that the state of the church today, having become such a large capital I Institution and carrying with it its own entire culture, (both of which should be noted as not inherently bad, but over time become intrenched and unmoveable) - especially in the west where there is more of a history of Christendom - is a bit disconnected from the reality of today's world.  However, I recognise that different to previous generations, I have grown up within a largely postmodern view of the world ... so of course it feels disconnected.</description>

		<description>Good to hear from you Sharon. Are these questions you resonate with related to your overseas experience, or would you say they existed outside that? I am just curious, because a common thread for many of the bikers was that they have had outside of community experiences (for example cross-cultural, higher education) and struggled to differing degrees of how to connect that with the way church was done back home.</description>

		<description>Denver, thanks for all your hard work on this!  It's an excellent documentary.  Although I knew a lot of you on the trip, I hadn't realised the questions you all were asking and the questions I've been asking were/are so similar.  I resonate with Dave's comment, "they don't have a clue what to do with me sometimes." :) I wonder if other YAR folks found resonance with that too. Thanks for sharing this abridged version - especially for folks like me currently outside of the states.</description>

		<description>Denver,

Thanks for all your work in putting this documentary together. I've talked with my pastor and whenever it arrives I'm going to arrange a showing for folks at my church.</description>
