Quote of the Day
"Friendship is being with the other in joy and sorrow, even when we cannot increase the joy or decrease the sorrow. It is a unity of souls that gives nobility and sincerity to love. Friendship makes all of life shine brightly. Blessed are those who lay down their lives for their friends."
Henri Nouwen

Welcome!
God is inviting us to go on a journey into his heart and into the good life made available through Jesus: "I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly" (John 10:10). But entering into this abundant life takes more than wishful thinking; it takes a well-thought-out, feasible plan.

A Balanced Spiritual Life

The first part of this plan is a balanced vision, which we find when incorporating into our lives practices seen in Jesus' life and the history of the Church. These practices, or spiritual disciplines, mature us in traditions of life and faith:

Contemplative: the prayer-filled lifeSocial Justice: the compassionate life
Holiness: the virtuous lifeEvangelical: the word-centered life
Charismatic: the spirit-empowered lifeIncarnational: the sacramental life

The Journey

The second part of this plan is to implement a practical strategy that will help us stay on course: participating in a Spiritual Formation Group. These fellowships of two to seven people meet regularly to encourage and hold one another accountable to the practice of spiritual disciplines and balanced growth into Christlikeness.

RENOVARÉ can help you on your journey by providing a balanced vision and a practical strategy for the formation of Christ-like character, with the ultimate goal of learning more and more to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength and your neighbor as yourself. If this direction for living your life sounds appealing please feel free to use the RENOVARÉ web page as a resource for ideas, inspiration, and future directions.

RENOVARÉ International Institute for Christian Spiritual Formation
RENOVARÉ is currently founding a Spiritual Formation Institute. This will be for leaders, academics, and those simply passionate about following Christ. The Institute will provide an opportunity for people to invest themselves in more intensive study of the Bible and discipleship, the process of spiritual formation, the great writings of Christian spirituality, and the great streams of spirituality expressed in the life of the Church. Under the direction of Gary Moon, noted author and academic, the Institute is recruiting students and will commence teaching in the fall of 2009. The first offering for the Institute will be in California, and the second offering in Colorado. Learn more about the Institute or contact Pam Stewart at 706-498-7595 .
