My spiritual mentor was fond of describing our world--and ourselves--as 'glorious ruins.' There is great wonder, deep truth, and breath taking beauty, but always in a broken setting of injustice, spin, and disappointment. Exploring what this means, and what a faithful spiritual pilgrimage looks like in this fallen world is what we are interested in here.
If you have similar yearnings and questions, we hope you'll find the material we post here stimulating for your own spiritual pilgrimage.
Denis (for Margie, too)
