There Is Room for All of You Here

Product Information

I want to rate this 5 stars because there are poems in this book that I like, but I don't like over half of the book. The "chapters" seem random and I can understand why Angemeer put them in there like that but I just don't like it.

But friend, it doesn't even make sense...that an expansive, creative, luminous, Divine energy that is loving and compassionate and justice driven and courageous and gracious by nature would need you to clear out so that it can take the stage. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. There is no stage. There is no confined space. The universe is not running out of room. There is an abundance to it all. YOU are an abundance of it all.And God created you to share this abundance with. Room for All The Revd Dr Paul Chilcote says ‘a wide embrace’ has always characterised Methodism and, taking our cue from Jesus, we make room for all.Some of the things we believe about God and the world and ourselves keep us from God and the world and ourselves. Some of the poems spoke to me and were okay, but I feel like I am just at a different place than the author is at this time in their life and their work was less relatable to my experience, however, I still enjoyed reading about their personal journey. Mindful Prompt: Settle. Breathe. The world is a roomy place. There is no competition between you and God for glory. There is only life and wonder to be shared and discovered together.

There is Room - The Methodist Church in Britain There is Room - The Methodist Church in Britain

One of the most exciting aspects of the time in which we live is the rediscovery of Christian practices and a renewed understanding of their purpose. Spiritual disciplines create openings in our lives where the grace, mercy and presence of God may be experienced. These practices are means of grace – safe spaces in which our loving God embraces us. Practices defined early Methodism. To use a more contemporary language, John Wesley laid out a ‘rule of life’ for the early Methodist people. He never viewed rules and regulations as an instrument of control, rather he conceived spiritual disciplines as instruments of liberation and empowerment. As in all other areas of Wesleyan theology, grace pervades these practices, and a wide range of works of piety and mercy shaped early Methodists as a people of grace and love. Ultimately, those practices in which they engaged became ways by which Methodists participated in God’s work of love, grace and shalom (peace) in the world. Welcoming the stranger Many of us have spent years shrinking ourselves so that God can fit in the room, folding ourselves up so small and tight so that we might glorify God as God should be glorified; thinking of ourselves less and less to the point where we don't even know who we are any more so that God can take up as much space as possible in our minds and hearts. Fall into this collection of poetry and prose inspired by healing and being open to love again, perfect for fans of Rupi Kaur and Courtney Peppernell.There's a whole story that gives John The Baptists' words, "God must increase, I must decrease," context, and a life beyond the dualistic idea of giving up on yourself so that God can be God. Sacrifice that old and stale idea on the altar, even now as you read this. The Terminus Project has been working on the Lowedges estate for more than a decade and has offered a community café and even a charity shop, however when the pandemic hit, things needed to change an that’s when Elaine stepped in.

What you are up to over Advent and Christmas?In the Christmas story, we are made acutely aware that there was no room for Joseph and Mary to rest when they arrived in Bethlehem, in the more traditional places reserved for hospitality in Jewish culture. This meant they had to use other spaces which were available. There is room here, not just for you to make God big, but for you to take up your bigness in the energy that God is all around you, in you, and through you. There is no competition between you and God for glory and space. We get in our own way by adhering to toxic beliefs that divide and belittle and diminish, distracting us from the real work of the spiritual path, which is to go deeper, not get smaller. How does knowing that there is room for you in God’s story make you feel? Making Room in Bermondsey There is Room is our 2022 Advent and Christmas campaign.
