“Creative practices are about connecting to ourselves and to God”
― Alyson Pryor, Come Away and Rest: A Guide to Personal Spiritual Retreats

“The web, by “collapsing” categories of human thought into one flat medium, pushes away from deep, personal reflection and toward the neural rewards of the notification and the Like button.”
― Samuel James, Digital Liturgies: Rediscovering Christian Wisdom in an Online Age

“Jargon is what happens when the desire to be seen as a certain kind of person outweighs the desire to know what’s real.”
― Samuel James, Digital Liturgies: Rediscovering Christian Wisdom in an Online Age

“Christian carefulness does not come out of a place of timidity or confusion. Rather, it stems from a deep awareness of the powerful intellectual effects of the fall and the reality-distorting power of the world, the flesh, and the devil. Judging by outward appearances tends to be useful in confirming what we already believed to be true, but it is not how God looks at the world”
