WOW…lets this stuff soak in..
Ian Morgan Cron
All art is speaking in tongues
Francis closeness to the trinity was birthed out of prayer
He co-experienced life with God the beauty of his creation
Every human transaction is God soaked
Contemplative Spirituality came from the Desert Fathers
All they did was pray and sought to be one with God
We need to get past the congregational division and create an atmosphere of generosity
Spiritual disciplines are created to bring you into the jet stream of grace
Christianity is about learning to see what is already there
Read “seven story mountain” “conjectures of a guilty bystander”
Read Martin Lair “into the silent land”
Read Fr. John mains “word into silence”
to repent means also to go beyond the mind that you have
“Silence is God’s First language”
One of the great dangers to the post modern stuff is we have no mystic theology
We need ideas but they can’t take you into the wilderness of God
Most of us go through life taping fruit on trees
Our job as artists is to stand still and be astonished and help others see clearly what they always felt vaguely
Social action and contemplation are a disaster without each other
The church is full of action right now and missing the contemplation
with absence of contemplative life we have Mindless fundamentalists who have an addiction to certainty
Constant bombardment of sound crushes sprit of congregation and effects their communion with the spirit of God
