Mountain Climbing Without A Veil Series

Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Feb 22, 2020

My friend Nigel (who is not a Christian) once said that that when Christians speak about God, he can feel like a primitive tribesman who suddenly encounters New York City - he just can’t get his head around it. If we want to begin to get our head around God, what one thing should we do more of?

He asked Peter to go fishing in the daytime. As someone who had fished in this particular area for most ...read more
