been well impressed with an article called 'spirituality on the road'. here's a snippet for you:
"From the Temple to the Wilderness

"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea." - Antoine de Saint Exupery
The tabernacle was built for the wilderness. The wilderness is always a metaphor for danger. Like the road, it is a place of wild animals and bandits, unpredictable and wild. The spirituality of the Temple will never carry us through the wilderness, and the wild places are where we need to be as we transition toward the city we haven’t seen. A spirituality for exiles is predicated on insecurity because we no longer need outward points of reference... buildings, rituals or even necessarily designated leaders. We want to live in spirit and in truth, and we share a common Leader. It's a subversive spirituality, a communal spirituality and a spirituality of emergence."

not sure the diocese has quite got its head around being in the wild places.........
