Greenbelt

On August 19, 2007 / By maggi dawn / Reply

Beginnings_and_endings_2One of the themes in my book Beginnings and Endings is how we listen to God.  God doesn’t have a "voice" in the usual sense of the word (you need a body to have a voice) but Christians always talk about God in human language – God’s hands, God’s mind, God’s voice…

At Greenbelt I’m going to pick up and develop some of the themes about how we listen, intuit, perceive, what we think of as God’s calling and guiding; how we pick our way between wisdom and and self-deception; how we embrace imagination without living in a world of fantasy. Come along and join in. It’s around 11 am on Saturday morning.

The first copies of the book will also be available on pre-publication release at Greenbelt.

    “Dippy Hippy” or not, this is surely something to add to your “List of Stuff…”.
    Looks very effective!

    How many visitors are you expecting? Emin’s tent was very much about the “author” whereas your chapel tent is very much about the visitor, is it not? Who is ‘Mother Julian’

    looks good to me Maggi.
    more than one person has called me a ‘rebel’ – it wasn’t a compliment – I can live with that too…. :-)

    Actually, I dig it. I can understand how stress can destroy a person. My stress can get so bad I found myself blowing up all the time, though in my mind I felt just fine.

    I love the idea of that tent. It sounds like re-traditioning sacred space for a modern context—and I love the idea of a space set apart with a wilderness theme. Great idea!

    I love it. The world would be a better place if there were more pop-up tents.
    Would have saved Peter some embarassment at the transfiguration, at any rate.

    If I were to de-stress in this tent, I would listen to ‘I Will Wait’, which is my favourite worship track.
    However, could you tell me where I can get the CD ‘Follow’ from? I’ve tried numerous searches and would very much like to purchase it.

    thanks all – the footprints, prayer corner and tent seem to be getting a fair few visitors, judging by comenst and wear and tear…
    nick, that’s a good point – I think it was about the author as well as the visitor (but isn’t all public art also about the visitor, at least in some subliminal sense?)
    Robert, Follow is sold out and unlikely to be re-pressed, but I have a notion that I might do a “best of old and new” at some point in the next year or so – I have several old favourites (like that one) that are constantly asked for, and several new ones that are previously unrecorded. I’ll put a notice up here as and when… but have another book to finish first!

    Me too! But thanks very much for the info, and I shall be looking out for the forthcoming CDs.

    Abso-blooody-lutely brilliant Maggi – it’s straight to the pool room with this one!
    (I hope you all get the reference to the iconic Aussie film The Castle – if not I look like an imbicile!
