Comments on: New Blog http://rodericksrambles.wordpress.com/2007/02/11/5/ Philip Roderick rambles on about spirituality, his vision and passions, and maybe where he has recently "fallen totally in love with and simply must live"! Wed, 14 May 2008 00:19:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU By: Rory http://rodericksrambles.wordpress.com/2007/02/11/5/#comment-175 Rory Fri, 25 Jan 2008 18:53:14 +0000 http://rodericksrambles.wordpress.com/2007/02/11/5/#comment-175 The Church has a liturgical responsibility and an evangelism responsibility. The Church much like a child told to clean his room each week runs in and stuffs the drawers with items and under the bed and in the closet and sweeps the dirt under the rug and runs out to play yelling to his mum that the room is clean. Week after week the church blazes through the liturgy and prayers but the proof of a well cleaned room is behind the closet doors under the bed and the rug. The Liturgy has bones set by God through His holy Apostles and the early church declared in scripture in the New Testament providing the skeleton but the flesh God has left to us. God has given His church absolute freedom in developing beauty and fitness of form to the Church through the liturgy and evangelism. These two equal but separate ministries work together to build the community of God's people and then the world looks at us and says "My! How they love one another" And "God added to them the number that were being saved." Clean your room Philip! The Church has a liturgical responsibility and an evangelism responsibility.

Once again I was transformed to a different place. Inspired in body and mind, the feeling of deep peace returned. Thank you. I egarly await your next reflextion. May the 'Garden Inside' reveal the deep peace, that we have come to know, to those who seek. Although I have felt rather on the fringe recently, I now realise just how much your thoughts and contemplations continue to touch me. May blessings be abundant.

The Holy Spirit is moving in amazing ways. The way of contemplation gives us glimpses of the loving mystery. I pray that the veil continues to part and perhaps even be lifted with regularity. Blessings upon your "place" in the prison. One of my dearest friends is involved in "being" with those on the inside -- and when Christ's love claims those who have done the "awful" things many of the inmates have done... well.... this is when we see again the miracle of grace! Be well, and remember to breathe! Pamela Philip…. The Holy Spirit is moving in amazing ways. The way of contemplation gives us glimpses of the loving mystery.

Although CA has one seminar in its upcoming Conference for single people. I run 4/5 miles a day along the sea front and as a minister see that as part of my working day - a luxury I appreciate not available to most folk. But as a Church Army Officer I see the army part as important and that includes phyisical fitness as much as possible. O the onging legacy of modern rationalism that paid scant regard to the body and sought only to feed the mind and intelect - in Jesus God shows that matter matters!

Hope to see you again in the future. love Helen Terry Hi Philip,
just been to a clergy deanery gathering and resonate with your comment that Christian gatherings pay scant attention to the body as a sacrament - anyway, enjoyed reading your stuff. Hope to see you again in the future.
