In this time in history distrust of the institutional Church comes more easily than humility. And yet what a blessing to be aware and a part of faithful Christians through time, and to be the beneficiaries of their wisdom. Its so nice to hear from you -- I've been feeling out of touch with our blogging community!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04456968102334835284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405825214631920064.post-87836862041075094612012-11-22T01:24:39.119-05:002012-11-22T01:24:39.119-05:00There's a need for humility and patience, isn&...There's a need for humility and patience, isn't there? "I've come to trust the wisdom of the Catechesis and the 50+ years of observation, experimentation, and prayer that it represents." <br /><br />And isn't that true of so much more than CGS as well. I am studying theology in the Church of England this year. As someone who grew up with "sola Scriptura", it was initially shocking to read about the importance of "tradition" as well... and yet to think of it as listening to tyears and years of the prayers and experience of other Christians, to think of it as the opposite of arrogant individualism - that puts a very different take on it.

They seem more beautiful to me somehow. I saw your cards on your blog and they are beautiful! Your pictures are lovely!Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04456968102334835284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5405825214631920064.post-86768895408599263022012-11-11T22:17:31.031-05:002012-11-11T22:17:31.031-05:00love the online manuals, they are so helpful in ge...love the online manuals, they are so helpful in getting a real picture of what you are trying to create! finished making our altar cards a few weeks ago - and did them all by hand - I really am beginning to see the benefits to eliminating computer generated lettering in the atriumAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15559423891850170899noreply@blogger.com
