Thought for the Day

Paradoxically, a widespread decline in traditional religious practice in the West runs parallel with an ever-increasing hunger for spirituality. The question at the forefront of most of the great spiritual classics used to be "What or who is God?" Nowadays the characteristic question of the contemporary spiritual seeker is more likely to be "Who am I?" Great Christian teachers of the past such as Julian of Norwich understood quite clearly that these two questions are inextricably linked.
