Staff Retreat

On Tuesday our church's staff went on a retreat at the Still Water Centre in Toowong that involved fasting, solitude and silence, followed by some serious feasting and celebration.  I really valued the opportunity to share such a significant experience with my colleagues outside of a work environment.  

The following lines from Leonard Cohen's 'Anthem' were quoted by the facillitator and have prompted much reflection:

Ring the bells that still can ring

Forget your perfect offering

There's a crack in everything

That's how the light gets in.
