 Spirituality of the Heart

In contrast to theology, we speak of spirituality as practical. It focuses a way of Christian living. It is also practical in that it insists on ‘groundedness’ - an engagement with suffering and resistance to the causes of injustice.

A spirituality of the heart attends to the movements of one’s own heart and to the movement within one’s relationships, including the Eternal Relationship within all human relationships. A spirituality of the heart of Jesus perceives Jesus’ healing and teaching as emerging from his compassion, from the sensitivity of his heart. It sees Jesus’ love as motivating all his ministry, and his willingness to be sacrificed for us (the suffering servant).

Come and join us on a journey to the heart!
