11 October – 5 November 2023
Die lewe waartoe God ons nooi strek diep, wyd en vêr. Spiritualiteit betrek hoe ons God sien en liefhet, hoe ons na onsself kyk, en hoe ons verhoudings en ons plek in die wêreld benader.

Margaret Silf | Becoming a new creation
The Gospel is a call to radical transformation, an invitation to become the best possible human family we can be. But how? What does this mean in practice? Perhaps we need look no further than the humble caterpillar for a few lessons. This creature is a living embodiment of transformation, as a troublesome garden pest becomes a beautiful butterfly, bringing life and joy to all creation. But the transformation only happens through the shocking disintegration that happens inside the chrysalis – a place where no-one would ever choose to be
At the heart of the Gospel is the breakthrough of Jesus to the fullness of life through the devastation of the cross and the desolation of the tomb. Can we trust that we too are being called to become more than we can ask or imagine as we journey together through this valley of the shadow of death, led and accompanied by the One who is the Way?

Aaron Niequist | The invitation is participation
The abundant life of Christ does not flow primarily through aligning our brains with correct ideas. Beliefs are very important. But on their own, they lack the transformative power that we desire in our lives and in the world. Thankfully, Jesus didn’t say “Here is the truth, believe it.” Rather, he taught “I am the truth, follow me.” The invitation of Christ was and is participation.
In this session, Aaron will help us explore a more practice-based faith that helps us participate with God’s constant outpouring of love. Pulling from historic Christian disciplines and creative experiments, we’ll consider practices for our own souls, practices for our families, practices for our church communities, and practices for our world. We don’t earn God’s blessing with these activities, but these practices help us receive the blessing that is already flowing. Let us reimagine and practice together.

Ronald Rolheiser |From Paranoia to Metanoia – The Heart of the Gospel Challenge
The first word out of Jesus’ mouth in the Synoptic Gospels is the word “metanoia” and it, in essence, summarizes the Gospel challenge. How do we journey, both in our humanity and in our discipleship, from paranoia to metanoia, from having clenched fist to having open hands, from being judgmental to being forgiving, from living out of our wounds to living out of grace, from putting a petty face on God and religion to radiating the inexhaustible wellsprings of mercy?
