1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it’s yours to keep for the entire period.
2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, “life.”
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation….

In a day when “to friend” has become a verb referring to a virtual activity, grounded explorations of friendship seem like refreshing reminders. I recently found one of these reminders in Chris Heuertz and Christine Pohl’s new book Friendship at the Margins: Discovering Mutuality in Service and Mission.
Based out of work with some of the most marginalized and impoverished people around the...

Third in our series of discussions with Phileena Heuertz, author of the new Likewise book Pilgrimage of a Soul.

(SD) Can you give a quick glimpse into the seven movements you describe in Pilgrimage of a Soul? How do they intersect, and how do we recognize them as we’re moving through them?

'transparency & vulnerability' :: on Suz's blog,... →
I have never thought much about the difference between these two concepts. Reading Simple Spirituality by Chris Heuertz, I came across his discussion of these. If I understand correctly, transparency is almost a self-conscious, controlled disclosure of truths about oneself. Vulnerability is relinquishing control, letting down one’s guard, and exposing oneself to potential wounding. Chris describes...

So now we enter the knockout stage of Page 2’s 2010 World Cup of Beer. After taking a week to review each of the groups (Group A, Group B + C, Group D + E, Group F, Group G + H) we’ve cut the field in half and we are left with the following beer bracket.
Note that we followed the same group layout as the one FIFA drew up for the teams competing in...

(SD) Activists aren’t necessarily known for their contemplative spirituality, but you’ve managed to keep spiritual formation at the center of Word Made Flesh. How did you swing that? What are some of the hallmarks of that...

We asked Phileena Heuertz—codirector of the international advocacy mission Word Made Flesh and author of the newly released Likewise book Pilgrimage of a Soul—a series of questions about her experiences that led to writing her book, as well as the experience of writing itself. Here’s the first question, along with her response. More to come.

Martin Luther King, Jr. named three sins of our nation that were intrinsically complicit in fueling a pre-civil rights America: militarism, racism and materialism. That was a long time ago, and many believe we are living in a failed post-civil rights America. Few would argue that a country where the life expectancy of an African American male is less than the average Sri Lankan fails to meet the...

While many futbol purists make the case that Americans are ignorant when it comes to the beautiful game, they can’t make the same point when it involves cases of beer. After all, isn’t this the country which invented the “Bud Bowl?”
So with the 2010 World Cup set to kick off in South Africa, Page 2 decided to arrange a concurrent side...

For many years now, I have been reflecting on the significance of Jesus’ calling his disciples “friends” (John 15). John McKnight’s book The Careless Society (and his work on Asset-Based Community Development) and Paul Wadell’s excellent book Becoming Friends, among others, have served as guides in thinking about this Gospel passage and the significance of friendship....

Friendship with people who live on the margins of the larger society, who are generally feared, excluded or overlooked, invites us to reconsider the meaning and practice of mission.
One of the ongoing surprises in mission is experiencing how the gift of friendship...
