Todd Donatelli 2011-04-04T13:17:43-04:00 2011-04-04T13:17:43-04:00 Lenten Program this Thursday Evening. Guest Presenter: Glenda McDowell http://plone.org/ f2c75a914c15ab58a9a0be7e462da848 "In Western culture, we often seek truth through confrontation. But our headstrong ways of charging at truth scare the soul away. If soul truth is to be spoken and heard, it must be approached 'on the slant.' I do not mean we should be coy, speaking evasively about subjects that make us uncomfortable, which weakens us and our relationships. But soul truth is so powerful that we must allow ourselves to approach it, and it to approach us, indirectly. We must invite, not command, the soul to speak. We must allow, not force, ourselves to listen.
