Personal musings during the two year course
Equipping for Ministry at Woodbrooke Quaker Study Centre
Including also some small part of a lifelong spiritual quest.
When there is underlined text in blue there is usually a link to another page or website.
The pages are best seen in order as the story is chronological but it is not compulsory!
When I applied for this two year adventure I was fairly certain what I wanted to give my time to but, I also wanted to remain open, to follow leadings, to serve my Meeting and beyond. To deepen my spiritual understanding of myself and my context in the world. And to be part of a small community of people who have a common purpose, to Equip for Ministry, and get to know, as deeply and as truthfully as possible, who those fellow travellers were.
This website is my project for the course.
It is a very raw and vulnerable piece of work showing the process of the two years and includes access to the videos I have filmed, edited and posted on YouTube. This part is ongoing and if you wish to you can follow the link on The Videos page to subscribe.
It has been an immensely healing and life affirming time during which I have been upheld by amazing people, friends and family.
During my lifetime I have felt like a victim and blamed others for my misfortunes. Now I strive to embrace and own the things for which I am responsible and forgive those things which are not. I have become so much more aware of who i am and so know when I need support and I have wonderful people in my life whom i can turn to in these circumstances.
So this project is offered as a small window into my personal story but it is not a cry for help, it isn't asking for advice nor is it a request to be fixed in any way.
In the final words of latest video I conclude that I am OK. And indeed I am.
