Register for Loving the Questions 2023-2024

Sep 2023 - Mar 2024

Online


"Loving the Questions is a community of contemplation and discernment that honors the Spirit’s unique call from God to each person. 


Our space provides room for participants to explore widely the ever-growing and ever-changing matrix of divine and human desire within, without pressure to have to quickly decide on our specific role in the world. Here lies a patient space where we can let go of certainties (and our desire for them) and open ourselves to what it would mean to more deeply and actively participate in the Church or in the world in creative and fresh ways."
