So what are you doing to slow down & how does this work in a parish?

Some people think I joined this group a long time ago! :~
"Slow lane" column in the Financial Times (FT.com) this weekend by Harry Eyres tells us multi-tasking actually slows us down (in efficiency, competency) so maybe we slow down even when we speed up??
Time for a long slow prayer walk, I can tell...

Comment by Sue Wright on April 23, 2008 at 1:44pm - I'm a seminary student (MA). We were discussing Eugene Peterson, The Contemplative Pastor in my field ed. class and all lamenting that we find it impossible to resist the pace of the world. At the same time we agreed that this is one of the most important ways in which X-tiany should be counter cultural. I'm interested in how to go about it!
