i have written a reflection for this month’s youthwork blog. it seems as though there is a mood in youthwork circles that some change s needed so i share a few thoughts gleaned from work with pioneers on how newness might come through a cycle of grief, dreams and building.
anyway it’s over here – only grief leads to newness [HT brueggemann for that title lifted from his book hopeful imagination]
I looked at the link to the blog and found it very interesting. It is good to look around, see the bigger picture and try to envision change. However, I also think a great deal of knowledge and spiritual satisfaction can come from awareness of what is going on in your immediate environment. Theories have a place but are no substitute for lived experience.
Best wishes,
Janet
