[Oe List ...] Bug model

[R Williams]

If the Bug model had been around in the 16th century to balance the tension between faith and works, "justification by faith alone" and "the priesthood of all believers" may not have been such contentious issues, and who knows what direction the Reformation would have taken.

The Bug Model was a teaching image from the PMC/PLC as I somewhat vaguely recall. Which means it was from RSIIIA?? There were multiple lectures/sessions based on the Bug, so there's a lot of depth somewhere on each of the 'legs' and on the 'body'.
Comments? Insights?

If I remember, the circle was very important representing the discipline of the covenant

For those interested in the Bug Model, I have a detailed model that I used in my doctoral project that uses the references from the United Methodist Book of Discipline. 
    The Bug Model has three foci: 
    The left side represents what I've call the Locker Room (also called "In-Reach") in which the two practices are Loving Worship and Loving Study;
    The right side represents what I've call the Playing Field (also called "Out-Reach") in which the two practices are Loving Justice and Loving Witness. 
     The center circle represents what I call the Church's Glue that holds both sides together. This contains 4 dimensions of Fellowship (Inclusiveness, home visitation, etc), Polity (ordination, marriages, etc.), Stewardship (Offering, gifts, etc.) and Responsibility (funerals, counseling, connectional relationships.). 
    If anyone wants a copy, I can scan it in order to send it. 
    Inner Peace,

I thought the Bug Model had an arrow-shaped head called Mission.
