Writing Pastors, Writing Faith: Creativity as Spiritual Practice Affinity Group

“We write to understand.” The craft of writing is a powerful tool to understand ourselves, the world we inhabit, the faith we live, and the God we hope to know. Writing creative non-fiction (memoir, essays, personal reflections) will form the heart of this group. We’ll work on a writing prompt in preparation for each gathering. (i.e., What scares you? Describe a childhood encounter with God. Who was your first spiritual mentor?) Each meeting will include craft discussions, sharing our written pieces, and playing with the art of language and rhetoric. It will be fun! This is for writers at any level of proficiency. The main thing is to have a love for words and the power these bring to our lives.
