I think it's very difficult to have both paradigms for most people, but I do think it is possible. I, for example, rarely feel the presence of God more than when I, say, pray with beads, make use of icons or use the lectionary.<br /><br />The in-between we seek is difficult because the two paradigms stand almost in contrast with each (seems like God likes doing things this way) other most people want either one or the other to their own detriment. It's our job to educate and lead into that seemingly awkward middle-ground.<br /><br />Peace & LoveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
