The
Paths
Paths and
practices, or
spiritual disciplines, are closely related. We define path as the road we take by making a series of choices
and thus weaving the tapestry of our life.
Practices
Understanding our
path, and making
intentional decisions about it, is key to developing
specific
practices in
our life. We define practices as those actions that help
us to achieve specific goals in the act of
cleansing ourselves, growing ourselves, and
drawing nigh
unto God. Many of the proposed paths
through the woods are to be populated by metaphorical items
representing spiritual practices.
As you
walk the trails at the mission, you may discover they offer
insight or suggest inter-relationships. The
path of
discernment, for example, shows us how to make good choices.
We recommend it as one of the first paths to walk.
Some of
the proposed paths along which one might find insight into
Christian practices are listed

1. The
Path of Sacrificial love
