THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
'The only essential is not an idea or an ideal: it is God himself, who cannot be found by weighing the present against the future or the past but only by sinking into the heart of the present as it is.' Thomas Merton.

Our featured music this week is L'Enfant Prodigue (The Prodigal Son) by Claude Debussy: Music for September
Founded by the American Quaker theologian, Richard Foster, Renovaré (from the Latin "to renew" or "to restore") is an ecumenical Christian non-profit organization dedicated to helping individuals and churches to become better Christians by engaging in "intentional Christian spiritual formation." Renovaré encourages people to develop a balanced vision of Christian faith and witness which draws on the experience of the whole church - across all denominations, and throughout Christian history - and to develop that into a practical strategy for spiritual growth, drawing on classical religious activities, such as prayer, Bible reading, worship, meditation, fasting, and silence.
