We are just about over the jet-leg! Down to more reflecting today.
'Sister Wendy on Prayer' is wonderfully refreshing: "The astonishing thing about prayer is our inability to accept that if we have need of it, as we do, then because of God's goodness, it cannot be something that is difficult. Accept that God is good and that your relationship with Him is prayer, and you must conclude that prayer is an act of the utmost simplicity... 'Knock and it shall be opened to you.... What kind of God thinks of tricks, lays down arcane rules, makes things difficult? God wants to love us and to give himself... The humblest, most modest, almost Imperceptible rubbing of our fingers on the door, and it flies open." (p3)
Today I shall begin drawing my thoughts together. The title is:'What can we learn from Leslie Newbigin’ Ecclesiology for mission in Chelmsford Diocese, with especial regard to the insights of Roland Allen and the Diocesan strategy, “Transforming Presence”?'
Two more photos taken whilst on the go.
