“Chewing the Bread of the Word, the nature and Practice of Spiritual Reading.”
Bishop Sue led the first session discussing Chapter 2 from Soul Feast: An invitation to the Christian Spiritual Life by Marjorie J. Thompson. We are reminded that we should read God’s Word with the intention of absorption rather than just to gleam tidbits. Another way that Thompson reiterates this is to think of reading the Word as you would a love letter, rather than the news.
