Details

In his book Telling Secrets, Frederick Buechner said, “Ministers in particular, people in the caring professions in general, are famous for neglecting their selves with the result that they are apt to become in their own way as helpless and crippled as the people they are trying to care for and thus no longer selves who can be of much use to anybody.” This workshop explored and conversed together about some practices vital to developing and maintaining one’s spiritual vitality, thus to become ever more mature in Christ and to serve others well.
