WAY OF LIFE: OUR MAGAZINE
WoL, as it is affectionately called, is a 32 page, all colour A5 quarterly, available quarterly for £8 a year. Below is an excerpt from a piece on Meditation by Wanda Nash workshop leader on Laughter. The full article appears in our current (Oct - Dec 08) issue:
Today's Christianity increasingly refers back to the traditions set by the Abbas and Ammas of the 2nd to 5th centuries. These spiritually redoubtable men and women were very close to the stories about Jesus constantly withdrawing in order to feed on his deep, deep communion with his Father. Indeed, his parting gift was his own special peace: the peace by which we can hold on to that communion in the face of buffets, and threats, and conflicts, just as Jesus did when faced by Pilate. There, supremely, Jesus was in a place without pleas.
The resonance of phrases and ideas among the main World Faiths is somewhat like a train adventuring along the same track to the same destination with carriages of similar shape and purpose constantly being added. Some people may get into the green carriage, while others prefer the red, or blue, or brown. Different food may be served in each carriage, a different language may be familiar in each, but they are all being drawn by the same engine - whose Driver is God.
Meditation wants to drop words, to make space where we let go and let God be the God who is, rather than the God we make in order to meet our needs. The God who Sees all, Knows all, Understands all, who wants our (blind) love, trust and allegiance - perhaps more than our demands and instructions.
But the Great God of mystery will not be framed by any one concept; nor will He be tamed by any one culture, nor can He be claimed by any one faith.
