An Ancient Celtic Prayer

God to enfold me,
God to surround me,
God in my speaking,
God in my thinking.
 
God in my sleeping,
God in my waking,
God in my watching,
God in my hoping.
 
God in my life,

Connection with God

Soul Friends for March 8th, 2010

As we work to build our line of books here at Anamchara Books, we spend a fair amount of time thinking and talking about who we are. What defines us as a publishing house—and what defines the books we publish?
 
The word we keep coming back to is “inclusive.” As is my habit, I turn to my etymological dictionaries so I can better understand what I mean when I use this word—and I discover that the Latin includere meant “to enclose,” a root tied to words that had to do with safety and strongholds.

Jason Clark at deepchurch.org states that “remembering our shared christian past is essential for facing the future.” His musings connect the “emergent” church with its ancient foundations. Here at Anamchara Books we’re hard at work on a series of books titled “Spiritual Classics for Modern Mystics”—updating less-easy-to-understand language into modern words—because we too believe that ancient wisdom can be as fresh and relevant as ever.
