The Annunciation

The Annunciation

In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary.  And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the...
Notes from the Camino

Notes from the Camino

“SOOOO… How was the CAMINO??” When I have been posed this question over the last few weeks since I’ve been back, I allow myself a long pause before responding.  There is so much to say, so much I could relate about all that God did while walking 70 miles with 5 other...

ContemPLAYtion

In the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail, there is a running gag featuring monks in sombre garments, trudging through streets, chanting mirthlessly and monotonously in Latin, hitting themselves on the head with boards in between cadences of their chant.  Despite...

Chasing Awe…Again

Describing his conversion, CS Lewis wrote “Into the region of awe, in deepest solitude there is a road right out of the self, a commerce with…the naked Other, imageless (though our imagination salutes it with a hundred images), unknown, undefined, desired.” It’s a...

Corhaven Graveyard Updates

Common box turtles, with their ornate yellow etching, love to eat ripe mayapple fruits. I recently saw one nestled near purple coneflowers in the tribute garden at the Corhaven Graveyard. What many do not realize is that turtles can live as many as 100 years and...

Summertime…and the livin’ is easy

A long, slow, exhale as you ease into your chair with something you’ve been wanting to read.  A sultry morning, a soundtrack of cicadas and sprinklers, sans school buses, when you can already feel the heat sizzle at 7am. A warm night outside with a grill going and...

Fly-Fishing as Spiritual Formation?

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...

A Personal Letter from Bill

I am in anguish… It lit something in me. It was such a brief conversation a couple of months ago while walking the littered streets of Bethlehem, but its effect is having the effect of focusing my attention like a laser. On our last Coracle/Telos trip to the Israel...

Get Revolutionized – Truths that Transform

Over the years of my life, I’ve seen something happen enough times to be able to recognize something of a pattern that ends up really changing things for me, super-charging my heart and giving me new passion and vision.  It’s when some deep truth–ubiquitous in the...

On Pilgrimage… Where will you go?

“…it remains the case that Christianity is not, at its heart, a territorial religion.” -N.T. Wright You are a pilgrim. Whether or not you hold a passport, whether or not you’ve ever left your hometown, you are.  Since people began to write things down, they have...

Reflections of a Returning Pilgrim.

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...

The Tangible Love of Christ in Lent

Fifteen years ago my wife Peggy and I had the incredible opportunity of spending two weeks with Dallas Willard and a community of brothers and sisters at the Mater Dolorosa Passionist Retreat Center in Sierra Madre, California.  As that week progressed we were given...
