Monday 23rd October, the start of our Winter Week.
Glorious day down here at Cranfield. A friend has loaned us his house for the week.
Great location with the sea at our front door and the Mournes at out back.
Doing lots of reading and sleeping and really feeling the benefit. Started a book, “Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places” by Eugene Peterson, which describes itself as “A Conversation in Spiritual Theology”. The title is taken from a poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins, one of my favourite poets. In his introduction he describes “Spiritual Theology” as “… a protest against theology depersonalised into information about God; it is a protest against theology functionalized into a programme of strategic planning for God.” Finding it quite stimulating and provocative.
