”The Spirit of God washing us free...”

17/07/2010: Casa general - Roma

Springs of Living  Water

Come to me, come to me

And springs of living water will set you free.

Come to me, come to me

And enter the fullness of life.

Morning Prayer:

1Kgs 19:11-13

Reflections from two of the Chapter delegates

This morning, we entered the phase of discernment in view of elections for our new general leadership team. A peaceful, beautiful community prayer ritualized with water our search for silence, light, newness, the Spirit of God washing us free of bias and self preoccupation that can so easily disturb our focus.

The prayer was followed by reflection in groups and a first exploring of questions around the elections.   We began with the easier questions of numbers and years and such like!

Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we continue this important phase of our work.

Hoy Hemos comensado el proceso que va a encaminarnos a la eleción del nuevo Consejo General.  Se nos ha pedido entrar en este proceso dejando de lado los prejuicios.

Elegir un consejo general no consiste en dar el poder a algunas hermanas, sino mas bien, pedirles un servicio a la congregación con el mandato de ejercer la autoridad y no el poder.

Jesús llamó a sus discípulos a servir, guiar e indicar la direción por el bien de todos.
