It’s already quite late, so I cannot embark on a lengthy post. I had mentioned that we Baden CSJ’s were in our “Chapter of Affairs” last month and that the Holy Spirit was very much in evidence. So my little teaser is just to share with you our Chapter logo and theme: “Incarnating Mission - [...]

To an earlier post, Claire submitted the following comment:
Sandy, I would love it if you could develop a bit your idea of ‘the ability to hold paradox is an essential spiritual aptitude for our time.’ It sounds good while I am not sure I understand exactly what you mean.
Thank you.
Claire and all, I realize that [...]

OK, this may seem to be a little too “crunchy granola-ish,” but keep in mind that in my CLC group, we are in the 4th Week of the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises…
My house mate has a list of spring chores that need to be done around the house, and I received my first introduction to a [...]

Last night, I watched the documentary, “For the Bible Tells Me So.” Very powerful and well done. Here’s the synopsis from the web site, http://www.forthebibletellsmeso.org.
