“Dawnward Orientation: Ode to Camp Allen 2010”
Sheila Swartz, our alumna at this year’s Southwest Regional Retreat and Writers Workshop, has sent us a poem inspired by Malcolm Guite's last talk at Camp Allen:
A Word of Grace – November 8, 2010
am writing this week about rebellion against God, the kind we expect and criticize and the subtler kind we try to deny and explain away. Both bring us to the same place--opposition to God and obstruction of his plans for us. There is thread that runs through the seemingly unrelated stories of King Uzziah of Judah recorded in 2 Chronicles 15 and Jesus' feeding of the 5,000 on a Galilean mountainside recorded in John 6:1-15. If we follow that thread we will find it leads directly to our hearts.
Collateral Magic: A Revolution in Word & Song
Our friend and Southwest Regional Retreat speaker, Malcolm Guite, posted a message recently on his blog about his experience last weekend at the Southwest Regional Retreat and Writers Workshop . He kindly gave us permission to share it with you.
