Take a guess... ?

So I am now the Spiritual Programme Director at the William Booth College - do you want to know what I find myself talking about most? What subject dominates? What people want to talk about most?

Take a guess ...

God?
Jesus?
The Holy Spirit?
The Kingdom of God?
Personal and spiritual development?
Holiness?
Spiritual formation?
Worship?
Mission?
The Bible?
Discipleship?
Leadership?
Spiritual Disciplines?

or

Uniform?

Guessed yet?

It is no different in other parts of the church. In certain parts of the Franciscan world which shall remain nameless, it is endless discussion of 'do we carry on using 'Sister' and 'Brother'. While one group drops it as dated, another takes it up as an innovation.... lol

see nothing has changed then! When will we wake up and learn that Jesus doesn't care what uniform we wear? Personally, I don't mind wearing it and standing out in the crowd because of it. But I'm not going to waste any more time talking about it. Off to evangelise......!

Many years later I discovered a university youth work course - as an induction to Youth Work - stopped outside this insignificant wooden door to point out that Youth Work as we know it in the UK started behind this door. ...whether that be the surbanite flower people that flooded the Westend to express their free love; or the hard core drug community this unimpressive wooden door became the 'portal' that blurred encounter between church an

It is easy to think and to limit ourselves to a single approach to Christian spirituality. A 'if it works for me it should work for you approach' tends to narrow our appreciation of other ways which actually impoverishes our experience of spirituality. Urban T. Holmes has developed a means of exploring spirituality and helps develop an appreciation through discovering links between spirituality, temperament and predisposition. The diagram illustrates his ideas together with potential inherent dangers. The vertical continuum speaks and helps us understand our relational orientation to God. This ranges from engaging with God through understanding and theological process to a more emotive response. Horizontally speaks of a persons preferred means of pursuing the spiritual life.
