By: Kathryn McIvor, 2017 Corhaven Intern As a worship planner on the edge of burnout, I had mastered the art of being in a service without engaging too deeply, afraid that an encounter with God might just push me past the point of no return. So I hid behind the...

I love finishing my personal letters with a little ‘offering of soul’. This time it’s fly-fishing, and there’s much more to say about this at a later date. Going for trout with a fly rod is one of only a very few things that takes my mind off all else and one of the...

by: Katie Kallam Going into my pilgrimage to the Holy Land, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I knew that I would encounter holy places, sites where Jesus walked, where he lived and died, but I knew very little about the modern Israeli/Palestinian conflict. I...

By John G. Gardner, Coracle Fellow ’17 NOTES FROM A PILGRIMAGE Several weeks ago, I had the privilege to be part of a pilgrimage jointly led by Telos and Coracle to Israel and Palestine. Rather than only visiting the holy sites connected with Jesus’ life, we...

by Sharon Hoeck, Telos Group Office Manager At the beginning of last month, we gathered with many of you to talk about disrupting the status quo of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. What does it look like to try to understand a reality that can be described by...

By: Joe Riffe I hate failing. It’s excruciating. This was true when I was young. I hated failing at school or at sports or high school attempts to be “cool.” Becoming an adult hasn’t changed that fact. My opportunities for failure have just changed. Now they are work,...

Liturgical seasons can act as guideposts through the year and Lent is a particularly special one. It’s easy to get caught up in the “sackcloth and ashes” part of Lent, with all the self-denial and focus on our own sin. This is important to...

Several years ago, my wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary with a getaway in southern Utah. Where we stayed, we were bordered by the Colorado River on one side, and on the other by the dramatic red sandstone structures that make up the landscape. One morning...

By: Desiree Barker Coracle Spiritual Director, Northern Virginia I will begin by saying that I did not grow up keeping a diary or a journal. I had two younger sisters and writing down personal things in a diary was not a safe activity at our house! While in college, I...

By: Heather Strube Coracle Spiritual Director Baltimore, MD “Friendship forms. Friendship is a much underestimated aspect of spirituality. It’s every bit as significant as prayer and fasting. Like the sacramental use of water and bread and wine, friendship...

By: Giovanna Meek (Coracle Intern, Summer 2016) “Spiritual Formation” often gets a bad rap: considered some new age, non-Christ-centered effort or, alternatively, raised to the level of the most important aspect of a Christian’s life, but to be pursued in an...

By: Yonce Shelton Coracle Spiritual Director December 2016 I believe because I go to the woods and am met. I go not to get away from, but to draw closer to. I go with desire. Or a question. Or the sense that I carry something. Or three words on a sticky note. I...
