"Only when we make sense of our own experience and understanding of God can we say things which make sense to contemporary agnosticism. This is a ministry which should not ignore the Christian mystical tradition that repeatedly treats of the wordless and imageless experience of God which surpasses human concepts...."

John, this is a great service, and one that I found fit into tertianship quite nicely, except of course for the duration of the long retreat. Good to see you on Sunday... give me a call whenever.
