Program Day with Bishop Taylor
Friday, October 1, at Valle Crucis Conference Center.
Father Ron Rolheiser spoke in the diocese last spring, and he said that the Holy Spirit gives us two gifts. First she gives us the give of fire: that holy longing which burns in our souls and moves closer to source of everything. He speaks of the need for glue to give some cohesion to the energy the Holy Spirit brings, lest we burn up or burn out. This day will explore two dimensions of the gifts given to us by the Holy Spirit: how they can be cultivated, the tensions between them, as well as how they are complementary. If we are only spiritual, then we become privatized or simply have isolated and individual experiences. If we are only religious, then we become rule-bound and hollow. A holy life is a whole life. We will explore this in terms of our personal and corporate journey. The day will involve presentation and discussion. Participants are asked to bring journals.
