I want to go back for another Taste and See (Come and See?). The ethos just bleeds into you, doesn't it? I don't kinow the Sisters of Charity so well, but L'Brie is a wonderful place as well. I'm excited to see how your thesis is coming! It's going to be really helpful I can already tell. I miss Church of the Savior. I want to go back for another Taste and See (Come and See?).

I remember him mostly talking about the Sisters of Charity, L'Brie and Church of the Savior. I agree with you about pantheistic views of God "in" and God "is" are very different views.

I'm interested in his assessment of Iona Community in particular. I visited Iona last fall and learned from John Bell and some other members. I had mixed feelings visiting them - a wonderful community with a passionate social justice focus. I didn't learn much about their membership entry points. But I was uneasy with some of their prayer and words (and with one community member that I met in particular) which had pantheistic tendencies. Celtic Christianity is quite panentheistic in focus, but there's a huge difference between "God is in the waves and the wind", and "God is the waves and the wind". Great post, and great reminders.
