  • Deep Splendor
    Robert P. Vande Kappelle / Robert PVande Kappelle
    People concerned with spirituality are seekers; instead of possessing truth, they seek to be possessed by it. Thus, a fully spiritual person is forever learning and growing. William Blake, the seminal mystic poet who worked to bring about change both in the social order and in common ways of thinking, taught that ''all we need to do is cleanse the doors of perception, and we sh...

  • The Church Alumni Association
    Robert P. Vande Kappelle / Robert PVande Kappelle

  • Response to the Other
    Robert P. Vande Kappelle / Robert PVande Kappelle
    Human beings seek meaning and purpose. To do so, we tell stories about the past, which we call history, and stories about what will occur in the future, constructed from memory and imagination. History is not a subject we study, but one we live. History is our medium, as water is to fish. No period of antiquity is more informative and influential for Western civilization than t...

  • The Second Journey
    Robert P. Vande Kappelle / Robert PVande Kappelle
    Spirituality is our connection to a greater whole. It is a journey ''from God, to God, and with God,'' and thus a journey toward Self.

In the end, we discover that we know God by being known, much like one loves by...

  • Adventures in Spirituality
    Robert P. Vande Kappelle / Robert PVande Kappelle
    Contrary to popular culture, the goal of life is not happiness, but meaning. Those who seek happiness by trying to avoid or finesse conflict, suffering, doubt, and change will find life increasingly superficial.

  • Walking on Water
    Robert P. Vande Kappelle / Robert PVande Kappelle
    How did Jesus do it? we wonder. How did he walk on water? To which we can imagine Jesus responding, ''O ye of literal faith. Walk with me on the waters of life; explore with me the depths of reality.'' Walking on water is not, as one might think, about staying on the surface of things, but rather about going deep into the ordinary aspects of our lives and finding gold. It is no...

  • Power Revealed
    Robert P. Vande Kappelle / Robert PVande Kappelle
    Three conditions plague us individually and socially--the compulsion to be successful, to be powerful, and to be right. Jesus faced these demons in the wilderness, and they tempt us as well. When used selfishly or for personal gain, success, power, and ideology can weaken and corrupt. However, when applied humbly and compassionately, they can be useful, even transformative.Cent...

  • Addiction
    Robert P. Vande Kappelle / Robert PVande Kappelle
    What is addiction, and how do we know if we are addicted? Speaking sociologically, we are addicted because we live in addictive societies that turn us into consumers and materialists. Speaking biologically, we are addicted because that is how we are hardwired. Speaking spiritually, we are addicted because we seek spiritual satisfaction through things other than God. Humans can ...

  • In the Potter’s Workshop
    Robert P. Vande Kappelle / Robert PVande Kappelle
    When you think of God, what images come to mind? Do you see God in others? Do you acknowledge God’s presence in each circumstance and situation of your everyday life, no matter how trivial? How you conceive God determines how you experience God. As contemporary author Frederick Buechner advises, ''Listen to your life. Listen to what happens to you, because it is through what ha...
