Happenings around the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana
St Luke's Baton Rouge to Sponsor The Living Compass Program with Fr. Scott Stoner Feb 26 & 29
Living Compass is based on the belief that each individual knows what she or he needs to do in order to become more whole. It is also based on the belief that we cannot be whole on our own; this journey requires the care and support of others. The Living Compass program provides both a structure and a process for the individual and communal dimensions of this journey. This program will help you name what you already know (although you may not be aware that you know it!) and with the support of others, help you to risk taking action steps to make the changes you truly desire.
There is a third entity, a third power in this journey towards wholeness. While there have been many attempts to name this third entity, it is by nature, beyond definition. Some of the more common names are: God, Higher Power, Source, The Eternal, Truth, Elohim, Wisdom, Jesus, Spirit and the Universe. Just as a navigational compass is acted upon by a force outside of itself (magnetic North), the inner compasses of our lives are also acted upon by an ever-present force that calls us to greater wholeness, gently reminding us when our course in life needs correction. On the journey towards wholeness we soon learn that we are not the only ones who are doing the seeking; a power greater than ourselves is seeking us as well.
