FOR PARISH MINISTERS:

Don't neglect yourself when you are working so hard to take care of others...
​“The man who is wise, therefore, will see his life as more like a reservoir than a canal. The canal simultaneously pours out what it receives; the reservoir retains the water till it is filled, then discharges the overflow without loss to itself … Today there are many in the Church who act like canals, the reservoirs are far too rare … You too must learn to await this fullness before pouring out your gifts, do not try to be more generous than God.”
~ Bernard of Clairvaux, On the Song of Songs
The sharing of ideas has occurred since the beginning. From people of all faiths to people of none, from thinkers and seekers young and old, discussion brings progress.
