The flowers and trees are blooming. Everywhere can see signs of spring and of God’s work in our world. Hopefully we will all find time to enjoy the symbols of new life. To help you find time for the spiritual activities which can aid us in our journeys, I ask you to mark Oct. 29 on your calendars. The Episcopal Church Women of the Diocese of Kansas will be having an Enneagram workshop, which will begin at 9 a.m. and end at about 3 p.m., at St. Thomas ’ Church, Overland Park. According to one source, “the Enneagram is a powerful and dynamic personality system that describes nine distinct and fundamentally different patterns of thinking feeling and acting. The word ‘ennea’ is Greek for nine and ‘gram’ means a figure or something drawn. Hence, the Enneagram is a diagram or star with nine points representing the nine personality patterns. Each of these nine patterns is based on an explicit set of perceptual filters that determine our world view. Underneath each of the nine patterns is a basic proposition or belief about what you need in life for survival and satisfaction.” You will be seeing more information about the ECW annual meeting, both in the diocesan newspaper The Harvest and in packets mailed to individual parishes. The business meeting along with the Eucharist and a dinner will take place on Friday evening, October 28. We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible there. |
