I didn’t take full notes on everything, but in addition to the jottings I already blogged from The Revd Will Van Der Hart, I also went to session by Bishop Martin, Dr Sr Gemma Simmonds CJ and The Revd Dr Earl Collins:
Sara Maitland on the laughter of Sarah
What makes
you think / provokes your imagination / makes you see differently? – things that
transcend and connect?
Put on your own oxygen mask first! Only with a
reasonable degree of self care can we effectively care for others over the long
haul
D. H. Lawrance poem “Pax”: “All that matters
is to be at one with the living God /
to be a creature in the house of the God of Life….” https://www.poetry-chaikhana.com/Poets/L/LawrenceDH/Pax/index.html
Stillness even in the heart of the storm
Disconnection of body / mind, praying self /
working sel, inner / outer
Monk Damian Lundy: “I’m Damian and I’m okay
because God doesn’t make rubbish” – post it note on bathroom mirror – Another brother

She adds: God is in fact the greatest recycler
in the business!
The last chapter of The Cloud of Unknowing: “Because it is
not what you are nor what you have been that God looks at with his merciful
eyes, but what you desire to be.”
Pope
Francis: “"I am a mission on
this earth; that is the reason why I am here in this world. We have to regard
ourselves as sealed, even branded, by this mission of bringing light, blessing,
enlivening, raising up, healing and freeing."
(Evangelii
Gaudium)

A Jewish
song for welcoming the Sabbath:
“Come, my friend, to meet the bride; let us welcome the
presence of the Sabbath.
Come, my friend, to meet the bride; let us welcome the
presence of the Sabbath.
"Observe" and "Remember the Sabbath
day," the only God caused us to hear in a single utterance: the Lord is
One, and his name is One to his renown and his glory and his praise.
Come, my friend, to meet the bride; let us welcome the
presence of the Sabbath.
Come, let us go to meet the Sabbath, for it is a
well-spring of blessing; from the beginning, from of old it was ordained, -
last in production, first in thought.
Come, my friend, to meet the bride; let us welcome the
presence of the Sabbath.
O sanctuary of our King, O regal city, arise, go forth from
thy overthrow; long enough hast thou dwelt in the valley of weeping; verily He
will have compassion upon thee.
Come, my friend, to meet the bride; let us welcome the
presence of the Sabbath.
Shake thyself from the dust, arise, put on the garments of
thy glory, O my people! Through the son of Jesse, the Bethlehemite, draw Thou
nigh unto my soul, redeem it.
Come, my friend, to meet the bride; let us welcome the
presence of the Sabbath.
Arouse thyself, arouse thyself, for thy light is come:
arise, shine; awake, awake; give forth a song; the glory of the Lord is
revealed upon thee.
Come, my friend, to meet the bride; let us welcome the
presence of the Sabbath.
Be not ashamed, neither be confounded. Why art thou cast
down, and why art thou disquieted? The poor of my people trust in thee, and the
city shall be builded on her own mound.
Come, my friend, to meet the bride; let us welcome the
presence of the Sabbath.
And they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that would
swallow thee shall be far away: thy God shall rejoice over thee, as a
bridegroom rejoiceth over his bride.
Come, my friend, to meet the bride; let us welcome the
presence of the Sabbath.
Thou shalt spread abroad on the right hand and on the left,
and thou shalt reverence the Lord. Through the offspring of Perez we also
shall rejoice and be glad.
Come, my friend, to meet the bride; let us welcome the
presence of the Sabbath.
Come in peace, thou crown of thy husband, with rejoicing and
with cheerfulness, in the midst of the faithful of the chosen people: come, O bride;
come, O bride.
O Bride, Shabbat Queen, now come here!
Come, my friend, to meet the bride; let us welcome the
presence of the Sabbath.”
