A Reflection from the Autumn 2025 Strasbourg Discernment Retreat
We were presented with both the sublime and the pedestrian aspects of ministry, and it was simultaneously sobering and compelling. The combined wisdom and experience of our leaders/presenters lent an authority to the message that was reassuring. Looking into their faces and talking with them, it was easy to see our need for a deep commitment if we intended to go down this path. But their very presence with us at the retreat brought hope. After all, here they were after many years of ministry, and they were still running the race with endurance and building into another generation.
