Learning From Rome

November 19, 2018 by Lighthouse Trails author 1 Comment

By Ray Yungen From a theological viewpoint, there now exist two branches (so to speak) of the Catholic Church—the traditional (as defended by someone like Karl Keating in his book Catholicism and Fundamentalism) and the progressive or contemplative* element (as exemplified by Thomas Merton and Henri Nouwen).1 And while these two branches (or movements) can … [Read more…]

Spiritual Formation—A Dangerous Substitute For the Life of Christ

October 31, 2016 by Lighthouse Trails Editors

Sometimes we think of spiritual formation as formation by the Holy Spirit. Once again. That’s essential. . . . But now I have to say something that may be challenging for you to think about: Spiritual formation is not all by the Holy Spirit. . . .

A Vital Question: Is There a “Good” Spiritual Formation?

December 7, 2015 by Lighthouse Trails Editors

One of the most common arguments we hear defending Spiritual Formation is that there is a “good” Spiritual Formation done without contemplative prayer. To that we say, we have never yet seen a Spiritual Formation program in a school or a church that doesn’t in some way point people to the contemplative mystics. It might … [Read more…]

October 29, 2012 by Lighthouse Trails Editors

To Lighthouse Trails: I am a graduating senior thinking about attending California Baptist University in Riverside, CA. I did not see this college on your list of emergent colleges.

  • Letter to the Editor: My Future as a Methodist Uncertain as LGBT Vote Soon Takes Place
    by Lighthouse Trails Editors on February 19, 2019 at 9:37 am
