Wonderful and balanced review - and what a gem to unearth. It reminds me of the riches and intimacy in the Great Prayer of Thanksgiving we have in our prayer books. And for me (a former Pentecostal, now in an Anglo-Catholic context ) this really describes a lot of my spiritual experience. The Lord being with us, meeting us, inviting us, being intimately IN us, and us in him, not by means of a memory token, but as promised, in his Real Presence.
Also - I do admire and give thanks for your ability Seumas to filter, and to savour and recognise the good in writers from outside your camp. as you know it’s all too common to simply caricature ‘the other camp’.
Deeply grateful and encouraged once again this morning. Thank you, brother !
