The next Missional Network gathering will be Thursday, May 14th, from noon to 3:00pm. This month we are continuing our discussion through “The Contempaltive Pastor: Returning to the Art of Spiritual Direction” by Eugene Peterson. Thus far the book has been a wonderful breath of fresh air as Peterson speaks with words of wisdom seldom found in contemporary pastoral ministry literature.
In the foreword of the book, Rodney Clapp writes of Peterson:
“He pastors and writes from a scholarly background, having mastered the biblical languages and done doctoral-level work with the magisterial William F. Albright. But none of the learning is for show. Peterson is, in fact, uncomfortable with persistent questions about his books, insisting that his identity and aim in life is merely being a dependable pastor. In a world of mounting hype and glitter, he has dedicated himself to the unsung promotion of honesty, simplicity, and substance.”
