I have been intrigued by the start-up of a discussion thread on
Christianity/Religion and "The Fifth Discipline" but have been scratching
my head about the content. It is difficult for me to see religion and/or
Christianity and the LO as complementary. Other than perhaps the Quakers,
Buddhists, and Unitarian-Universalists, I do not know of any religious
orders that do double-loop learning which for me is an essential
capability of a LO.
For example, at every mass Catholics recite the 'Credo' - I believe in .....
The Catholic church is not open to reconsidering the divinity of Christ,
nor the immaculate conception. Religious organizations are based on
assumptions and beliefs that are rarely (should I say never) subject to
critical inquiry or learning.
