I doubt that these questions are easy at all, but I<BR/>hope they interest you.<BR/><BR/>1. You have a keen social conscience, Lisa. Where does that come from in<BR/>your own personal story?<BR/><BR/>2. As a lawyer, many would see you as tough minded and quick thinking, but I<BR/>intuit that there is a deeply sensitive side to your nature, which at times<BR/>might cause you pain, or even confuse you. What do you learn from your<BR/>hidden woundedness? Or again, how does this aspect of self inform who you<BR/>are and how you work in the world?<BR/><BR/>3. Where do you find community at this point in your life? How does<BR/>relationship in faith community impact your own spiritual journey?<BR/><BR/>4. Who has been central in the development of your own personal theology and<BR/>what was it about that individual, (theologian, activist, writer, artist,<BR/>historical figure) which sparked your own growth?<BR/><BR/>5. How important is prayer to you? If it is important, what concern lies<BR/>closeConstancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17232289847990430112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044218.post-1120609549570996262005-07-05T20:25:00.000-04:002005-07-05T20:25:00.000-04:00Hi Connie - I'd be honoured to answer your intervi...Hi Connie - I'd be honoured to answer your interview questions.

Your spiritual journey has taken you down many different paths until you find yourself living and worshipping as a Friend. What is the special fit between your spiritual essence and this way of being in the world? <BR/><BR/>2. You are a healer. I have seen your amazing, compassionate heart at work. How does your own illness, recently diagnosed, impact this ministry and how do you ask for healing for yourself?<BR/><BR/>3. As a mother and nurturer, what is the essential wisdom which guides you in this task? Is there one thing above all other you could give as advice to a young parent who is also young in faith?<BR/><BR/>4. What clutter have you cleaned out of your life in order to achieve the space to reflect, read and write as deeply as you do?<BR/><BR/>5. How has your understanding of the feminine face of God and your role in the revelation of that face changed since the Linwood House Path?<BR/><BR/>With anticipation,Constancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17232289847990430112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044218.post-1118794838090982352005-06-14T20:20:00.000-04:002005-06-14T20:20:00.000-04:00This is amazing Connie, but amazing is what often ...This is amazing Connie, but amazing is what often comes from you. <BR/>I am intrigued by every answer you give but I am particularly drawn to each one for various reason.<BR/>I love how beauty has been released for you - permission granted so to speak. I am humbled when you speak of suffering being the place where the thirst for knowledge comes from. I love that mystery is a feminine part of God - never thought of it being feminine before. Mystery as a woman is something I want to embrace. Mystery being attached to death is a beautiful idea and i pray you will know the beauty at the time when your Mom passes from this life to the next. Recently I had a painfull moment as one spoke to another of being blessed because they had been "good". Bitterness was in my mouth as I thought of 40 years of being "good" and never once receiving the desires of my heart. Perhaps is isn't about being good but more about understanding grace and disillusion revealing reality.<BR/><BR/>Thank you Connie for this wonderful insight into your heart.stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11623010590528627303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044218.post-1118786460336780312005-06-14T18:01:00.000-04:002005-06-14T18:01:00.000-04:00My, my, my...what beauty you reveal to us in this ...My, my, my...what beauty you reveal to us in this interview.
