He received his PhD at the University of Edinburgh; served as a chaplain and professor for three universities, and worked within the national offices of the Presbyterian Church (USA) in higher education ministry. He is the author/editor of 12 books.
In 2024, out spiritual discernment will be:
Making a Home for the Mystic Heart
The month will focus upon:
Concentration
We must develop a clear image of that which we would like to become, honestly acknowledging our present inadequacies and the ways in which we would like to improve.
Our main source of inspiration for this year is Interspiritual Meditation by Edward W. Bastian. In this book, he points out the necessity for our spiritual practices to be performed in a context of intention and wisdom that supports and informs them. He outlines a series of steps we can take to help integrate our practice, wisdom, and daily life.
We can consider each of these steps in a personal, communal, or universal domain. Also, as particular independent practices or as elements in a ritual sequence.
