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.
We are
beginning to develop walking trails throughout the Mission's
twenty acres of woods. In addition to being peaceful, beautiful
places for hiking, cross-country skiing, snow-shoeing, or
relaxing, each of these trails represents a spiritual path
within the Christian experience. The path of sacrificial love,
for instance, will feature metaphorical items and art forms that
will mirror elements of this spiritual discipline. On another
path we might find steps with the Beatitudes inscribed on them
(see map- page 21).
