The Holy Between Us with Christine Betz Hall

"In my experience of Christianity, we've been a very word-focused people. Word and intellect have been honored above the wisdom of the body and wisdom of the felt sensibilities of our emotions and the vaguer sensibilities of our imaginations and intuitions and sense of prompting, and all the ways the Spirit can work through those other modalities. So yes, we can pray with our bodies. Yes, we can pray with our imagination, we can pray through our feelings and not be overcome by them. All of us, all of our being can show up, be welcomed in the Spirit."Christine Betz Hall is a Quaker, educator, retreat facilitator, and spiritual director. She founded and facilitates Way of the Spirit—a prayer and study program for growth in spiritual discernment from the wisdom of the Quaker tradition. Her teaching invites attentiveness to the Inward Teacher in ordinary life. Her contemplative, experiential approach assists others to live more fully into their relationships and their spiritual giftedness.Learn more about Christine's work at goodnewsassociates.org.
