Today we discussed several topics, from final papers, spiritual guides, icons, and discernment. An orthodox priest came to talk about icons - a little strange to me as a mennonite. It would seem that Catholics and Orthodox Christians pray to the Saints like you and I would ask a friend to pray for us. Maybe the saint will have more pull with the big guy! It was interesting to learn, but at this point my Mennonite roots take over and I am left with many questions, not the least of which is - if I can go straight to the top why not?
The section on discernment was helpful - it was also nice to see that we are already practicing the discernment process at Zion. If you have any major decisions and want to call upon the community for help - let me know. Discernment is a community business.
Blessings heading home tomorrow so I won't be posting. Feel free to check in once a week - this year I will try to continue posting as I do my work on papers and such.
