A River Deep and Wide

I have just returned from Nashville where I participated in a weeklong seminar of this same name. The following thoughts are taken from the seminar brochure:Spirituality is like a river…a River flowing with the grace of God, a River full of life and vitality for thirsty souls and hungry hearts, a River of Jesus’ love. The Psalmist writes, “There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God.” (Ps 46:4a). This is the River we seek in an increasingly multicultural and inter-religious world. Some respond to diversity with fear, but as people of faith we know that differences can lead to discovery. Diversity is an invitation to dialogue. In the spirit of Jesus, who was always venturing forth to meet others, A River Deep and Wide will be an opportunity to learn, to grow, and to relate to one another, overcoming divisions and discovering our oneness in community. So it will be with us at The Way as we focus on the same theme. Each Sunday in May, we will consider a different current in this River of faith and life:
May 3 Bridge the Gap—A Celebration of Creation
May 10 Bridge the Generations
May 17 Bridge the Traditions
May 24 Bridge the Cultures
May 31 Catch the Current (Pentecost Sunday)
