Listening as Gift and Process

At St. Michael’s we have a highly committed and compassionate group of people who have taken on a ministry of leading small groups. We work together to deepen our spirituality and to develop our listening skills. Gradually we have discovered that listening itself is a kind of sacrament, a joy, a ministry, a way of love. It was for a meeting of this group that I wrote the following brief description of the listening process: what happens when people are listened to! Click here to see the PDF.

Video of Sunday Forum: Practicing Epiphany

This is a Sunday Forum Talk at St. Michael’s Episcopal Church in Raleigh, NC, on jan 6, 2019. I explore how we can practice Epiphany not by waiting to have an epiphany experience, but by learning how to see our lives as providing the context for God to tell God’s story. We can wonder how God would tell the story of God’s loving ministry to us in our life; we can then wonder at God’s presence NOW.
