Spirituality:The quality or state of being spiritual; heavenly-mindedness.

“All of the places of our lives are sanctuaries; some of them just happen to have steeples. And all of the people in our lives are saints; it is just that some of them have day jobs and most will never have feast days named for them.” – Robert Benson

“We ask for long life, but ’tis deep life, or noble moments that signify. Let the measure of time be spiritual, not mechanical.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ciao amici miei

My trip to Italy begins on April 21st and I invite you to follow along with me as I experience this astounding country.

Along with four other ordained clergy of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and thanks to a Sustaining Pastoral Excellence grant from the Lilly Foundation, I will be in Rome, the eternal city, as well as other sites in Italy important to the history and development of Christianity.

While in Italy I plan to blog about my trip, not just as a tourist, but as a Christian seeking to connect with the rich historical places, sounds, and smells that inform our faith.

Please feel free to add your comments to this blog and share in this journey over this next week.

Blessings,
Don
