Comments on: Cleaning House: Confession and Sexual Addiction http://www.nacronline.com Tue, 24 Aug 2010 13:31:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Sibyl http://www.nacronline.com/articles-on-the-twelve-steps/cleaning-house-confession-and-sexual-addiction/comment-page-1#comment-9192 Sibyl Fri, 16 Oct 2009 01:38:33 +0000 http://www.christiansurvivors.com/cri/nacr/wordpress/?page_id=89#comment-9192 PS - William R, Thank you so much for this awesome article. Confession in the church has been on my mind a lot lately. There are Restarting groups and Celebrate Recovery Step Study groups as well as Cursillo, Emmaus and Tres Dias reunion groups in addition to AA in our area that serve somewhat like James 5:16 groups. Renovare (Richard Foster and Dallas Willard) started accountability spiritual formation groups, but there are none in our area. I would still like to see James 5:16 Covenant Community groups...with an emphasis on the kind of committed koinonia that the Holy Spirit has in mind. PS – William R,

How different, how tender and safe the fellowship of the early church must have been. I have not found that yet...or maybe I have not been that kind of safe yet myself.
